What's It Like Being A Lesbian In Iran?

"Being homosexual in Iran is considered to be a violation of the law."

The human rights organization OutRight Action International has released a video highlighting a recent study that was conducted on the life of lesbians in Iran.

In Iran it is illegal to be gay, and the report found that lesbians are harassed by their families and classmates and are often forced into marriages with men where they are subjected to abuse and marital rape.
