Queering Freedom House

Arsham Parsi, Executive Director of the IRanian Queer Organization
(IRQO, formerly Persian Gay & Lesbian Organization [PGLO]), thanks
Gozaar: "To begin with, I would like to thank Gozaar -- A Journal on
Democracy and Human Rights in Iran -- and its editor Sasan Ghahreman
for inviting the Iranian Queer Organization (IRQO) here today so we
could be with you" ("Arsham Parsi Speaks at Gozar Panel, Silenced
Voices, Toronto," IRQO.net, 16 September 2007).

Scrawl down to the bottom of Gozaar's homepage, and you'll see that it
unabashedly features the logo of its sponsor Freedom House.1 Getting
associated with Freedom House, an organization that is among the best
known elements of Washington's regime change campaign in Iran, is the
surest way to turn all thinking Iranians against your organization and
set back your cause.2
