Every story I hear about this guy comes from US sources of dubious repute.
You have to keep in mind that there’s strong propaganda going on right now.

So libs have got no more reason to support Israel's pinkwashing. Iran's got even a lgbtqia+ leader! Their attacks are homophobic!
Mayor Pete in shambles 
I wouldn't have thought open homosexuality a possibility in present day Iran.
Men kissing men in public, holding hands, hugging, slapping each other's bottoms (probably). But always no-homo. That's the usual way.
If things are indeed that progressive, like the Iran before the current theocratic government, everything I know is wrong.
Lets be real, this whole story is probably just bullshit made up by some drugged out cracker at the CIA or an LLM.
My cynical view is that it’s extremely low effort rage bait to try to get homophobic conservatives to support the war
They openly allow trans people
Just some locker room talk is all
James Buchanan was a queer US president, and fairly open about it among his peers. Real piece of shit though.
