Ignorance is bliss. Perhaps you should look up Bacha bazi. This is a very common practice, and is not looked at as gay at all. And it's most prevalent among translators, politicians, and security forces that worked with US Military forces. In fact, US service members were specifically prohibited from intervening, and told that "it's their culture, do not interfere".
The Taliban banned this "custom" in 1996 when they took power. It swiftly came back into practice after the US invasion. It's neither uncommon nor something to be made light of.
Regarding marriage laws in Islamic Theocracies, so what? You can't even make the statement that the one theocracy on the planet that's not Islamic (Israel) should even exist. If you want to go about knocking down nations for religious laws, it's time to target the majority of the middle east and portions of Africa. Meanwhile, understand, that homosexuality and true pedophilia (aka sex with a prepubescent child) are both capital offenses in Islam. :)
im fine with all theocracies going away and i dont respect sick religious practices, and in most cases perversions of religious text to fit the purpose of sick people, at all.
if some kid in the amazon wants to become a man and he runs a hot poker through his own lip to get the respect of his tribe, even if he only does it because he's been indoctrinated since birth to do it, fine.
if you're doing female circumcision or hauling a scared young girl into the hands of a grown man that all but bought her u can fuck right off. israel likewise can fuck all the way off. kid fuckers can all rot in hell after a long slow painful death. and if you're a 40 year old with a 15 year old bride you fit the bill just as much as a sicko pedo that's now banned.
