> Sometimes, it feels like a backward prison here. You can leave, but you cannot come back. As an Iranian in the US, you are restricted.
Oh, is that similar to how gays and lesbians are treated in Iran? Or worse?

You clearly have no idea what its like to put your shit in a box and move half way around the world.
Have you ever been to Iran? Anywhere near Iran? Do you know whether there's a difference between how the government treats people and how people treat each other there?
The only way to change your perspective is to go somewhere different. I wouldn't go to Iran right now because the US won't look kindly at you when you return, but somewhere like the Emirates or Qatar is a good start. Hard though, according to the State Department, only 36% of Americans have passports.
One way to improve is to be able to open oneself, or in this case, a whole country, to criticism. Merely rebutting with "my country is superiors to yours!" adds nothing of value and puts forth a level of ignorance that should not be tolerated in today's society. Thank you.
