Dying to leave the party
In Iran, hosting or attending parties is fraught with danger due to government surveillance and police raids, often resulting in arrests or even fatalities. The Iranian government employs various forces, including the Basij, to monitor and control citizens' behavior, leading to a climate of fear. This oppressive environment has drawn international sanctions, yet state violence persists, with some individuals preferring to risk death over arrest.
Living life in installments
Economic conditions in Iran have deteriorated to the point where basic necessities like meat, chicken, and rice are now bought in installments. The policies of the Islamic Republic are blamed for this situation, which has persisted for 44 years. The article contrasts this with installment purchases in developed countries, which are typically for significant items like houses or cars. The upcoming American elections are mentioned as a potential turning point for the situation in Iran.

The article reflects on the stark contrast between LGBT rights in Iran and more accepting societies, highlighting the severe discrimination and dangers faced by homosexual, bisexual, and transgender individuals in Iran. It discusses the historical tolerance during the Pahlavi era, the shift following the Islamic revolution, and the current hostile environment under the Islamic Republic. The government's contradictory stance on gender reassignment is also examined, revealing deep-rooted societal and legal challenges.
