Those losers are so worried about other people’s sexuality.
Like, are they going to remove the gender field from their identity forms too? Why would you ban a common word?
That would be ironic, considering that gender wouldn’t matter upon hire.

Hell, Arabic itself has gendered nouns.

What’s interesting about homophobia in Iraq and West Asia in general is that it was originally imported by the British during their colonial rule. Prior to this these countries were much less strict about homosexuality. It was still frowned upon at certain points in time, but not violently persecuted. After these countries gained independence they stuck with the British stance regarding homosexuality. Ironically, western nations becoming more open about same sex relationships made fundamentalists in these former colonies even more homophonic and violent because it had the appearance of going against western hegemony (despite homophobia still being firmly engrained into western society).
