The history of LGBT people in Iran spans thousands of years. Homosexuality has been viewed as a sin in Islam, and is outlawed in almost all Muslim-majority countries, including Iran. In pre-Islamic Iran, a tradition of homosexuality existed, however most were intolerant of pederasty and sexual activity between two men, especially the Zoroastrians. According to Ammianus Marcellinus, Iranians were “far from immoral relations with boys”. In fact, most were not tolerant of homosexuality until the invasion of the Ghaznavids and Seljuks.

  • The history of LGBT people in Iran spans thousands of years. Homosexuality has been viewed as a sin in Islam, and is outlawed in almost all Muslim-majority countries, including Iran. In pre-Islamic Iran, a tradition of homosexuality existed, however most were intolerant of pederasty and sexual activity between two men, especially the Zoroastrians. According to Ammianus Marcellinus, Iranians were “far from immoral relations with boys”. In fact, most were not tolerant of homosexuality until the invasion of the Ghaznavids and Seljuks. Beginning in the mid-1980s, with the Islamic Government in power, as many as 7,000 homosexuals were hanged, shot, stoned, or burnt to death. Since the revolution, the punishment for homosexuality has been based on Sharia law, with the maximum penalty being death. Transgender people have never been officially addressed by the government leading up to the 1979 revolution, but, after the Islamic Revolution sex reassignment surgery has been allowed, and the government provides up to half the cost of the procedure for those needing financial assistance.

  • Nel corso della sua storia, l'omosessualità in Iran è stata vista in modi diversi, anche se a partire dall'islamizzazione del Paese l'atteggiamento generale nei confronti degli omosessuali è stato generalmente negativo. In particolare, la situazione si è inasprita dopo la rivoluzione iraniana del 1979, quando un'applicazione rigorosa della Shari'a ha portato alla condanna a morte di oltre settemila omosessuali. Ancora oggi, le persone LGBT in Iran non godono di alcun tipo di riconoscimento e tutela da parte del governo, con l'eccezione delle persone transgender, a cui è stato concesso il diritto di cambiare anagraficamente sesso dal 1987.
