Video of 2 boys persecuted for being gay. When international gay rights groups got involved, the government lied about the boys' ages and what they were being punished for to protect its own image. They slandered the boys and humiliated them all because their love was considered wrong by the country’s conservative leaders.
It sounds like it couldn’t happen in a country like America, but if far right wing ideologies continue to propagate, they will feed off of hatred and intolerance. If you don’t believe it, look at Nazi Germany.
***It's not a graphic video, but it is emotionally draining to watch. Keep that in mind before pressing play.
