Supremely Progressive: Iran Becomes First Nation in World History Led by Gay Amputee

Representation matters now more than ever

Credit where credit is due: Iran appears to have scored a remarkable victory for inclusive representation on the global stage. The U.S. intelligence community recently assessed that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the dearly departed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is "probably gay," the New York Post revealed on Monday. The news comes amid reports that "one or two" of the younger Khamenei's legs were amputated after he suffered severe injuries last month in the U.S.-Israeli airstrike that killed his father.

Assuming the reports are true, Mojtaba Khamenei would be the first-ever LGBT amputee to lead a sovereign nation. Iran's monumental achievement is certain to invigorate the American progressives who mourned the elder Khamenei's demise. Many were already inclined to take the rogue nation's side in its ongoing conflict with the United States and Israel. Democratic activists have long championed the view that inclusive representation—elevating members of historically marginalized groups to positions of power—is inherently meaningful and morally necessary.

There is little reason to doubt Iran's historic accomplishment, even if the regime is reluctant to take credit for obvious reasons. Khamenei has not been seen publicly since his appointment as supreme leader on March 8, although regime officials did celebrate alongside a taped-together cardboard cutout of his likeness. This has fueled speculation about the supreme leader's health and ability to walk unassisted.

The CIA's assessment regarding Khamenei's homosexuality aligns with earlier reports that he struggled to impregnate his female wife due to a severe "impotency" problem that required several hospital stays in London to overcome. He is believed to have survived the initial airstrike in part because he left the bunker where his father was staying moments earlier "to do something" in the garden, potentially with a male companion.

A Gay Islamic Amputee?

If he were also black, the New York Times would seek to hire him as a reporter.

Ayatollah, have a belated St Patrick's Day Bud Light on me.  Guinness is not meant for dandies.
