A lot of us write and/or read m/m stories and enjoy them thoroughly. We love the characters, we love the romance, we love happy endings. And as authors, we can make that happen. But guess what? In Iran and other places in that part of the world there are no happy endings for gay people in real life if they are "caught." There is arrest, torture, and death.
My friend told me about a 19-year-old Iranian gay student named Mehti. Here's the short version, and the links follow.
