Only 20 Jordanians are Homosexuals!

Note: jazarah! welcomes everybody despite their sexual orientations! I mean everybody!

The Jordanian Ministry of Health “took the bold step” when it decided to break the silence about homosexuality in Jordan through conducting a research about numbers of gays and lesbians in the country, and guess how much they found? 20! Boy, Jordan does lack resources :D I guess the government should enforce rules to protect those 20 people to save diversity in the Jordanian community :D

Only 20 Jordanians are homosexuals! This is even funnier than AhmadiNejad’s statement when he said: Unlike USA, We don’t have homosexuals in Iran. This number doesn’t seem rational at all, I’m sure there are much much more than this, I mean if the government consider homosexuality a problem, denial is not the right approach to solve it, salvation begins with acknowledgment then applying solutions and perform follow-ups.

I don’t know the tools and methods used by the ministry to conduct this research, but go to couple of places in Amman like Books@Cafe or RGB and you will see tens, if not hundreds. Surf Facebook and you will find even more.

  4. what’s up with this all Gay fuss in Jordan. Who cares guys!
    Ok gays, we recognize you and we admit that you have the right to live! just leave us alone man! and stop trying to convince straight people to become like you!

    Still i can’t feel comfortable setting or touching a GAY. I’s anthropology in action i can’t control it. duuuh

  5. Min of Health should’ve remained silent rather than venture out with a homophobic chip on their shoulder issuing such a moronic announcement. And you got to love the dumb press for doing their usual copy paste of a press release and are not willing to ask/delve/contest. Did oxygen stop flowing through Jordan or something? It feels like stupidville out there….

  6. I totally agree with you man , this no. couldn’t be anywhere close to the real number but i wish it was, they must reconsider their measurement tools
