Hey /trv/! I have my eyes set on Iran. It seems like such an interesting and beautiful country to me, away from tourism and out of the spotlight. I know it's not really a dangerous country in any way, but here's the thing: I'm gay. And my boyfriend is Persian. It would be really awesome to travel to Iran with him for a while, but I have no idea what security is like for a visiting gay couple there. Sure we can act platonic in public, but how safe is it to be romantic behind closed doors? Like would people get suspicious if we stayed in the same hotel room and so on? What exactly would happen if people found out?
He hasn't been to Iran since he was a kid so I don't think he knows much about the situation. Thanks.

just don't tell everyone that ur gay, hell u can even hold hands when u go outside and they wont be suspicious and don't worry u two can stay in the same room and no one would care, if ordinary people find how some how they don't really give two shits but worst case scenario u guys would get deported as you guys aren't residents of iran.

Are westerners somewhat exempt from punishment? I can see us getting deported sure, but do we risk getting whipped or executed?

I don't think they can whip you if you're not a muzzie

You don't even need to act platonic in public, most young men there act like fags anyway. I was there a couple of weeks recently and I can't even tell how many of them I saw walking the streets while holding hands, hugging and kissing each other repeatedly, taking selfies together while pouting and making heart shapes with their hands.

Sure, but I think it might be more obvious if one of the dudes is blonde and blue eyed...
