IRANIAN OFFICIAL PROMOTG PIETY DISMISSED AFTER ALLEGED GAY SEX TAPE EMERG

From the dawn of Persian poetry the nth century all through to the twentieth century, not only was homosexualy ndoned Persian poetry, but fact homoeroticism formed almost the only amatory subject of Persian ghazals (short son-like lyrics) and the ma topic of much of Persian love poetry. In later tim, when polil and social circumstanc changed and slav were not as readily available as durg the ontier wars, boys different walks of life bee the targets of homoerotic love. Novic workg unr master craftsmen, errand boys (šāgerds) shops, and youths workg at different tras were now mostly the targets of homoerotic love poems, although ls equently qasidas than ghazals, quatras, and ocsnal piec (qetʿas).

The ḵaṭṭ is scribed varly as green (ḵaṭṭ-e sabz), st-lored (ḵaṭṭ-e zangāri), mk-lored (ḵaṭṭ-e moš-k), buddg ḵaṭṭ (ḵaṭṭ-e now-damida), etc., but most often upled wh ḵāl (bety spot) on acunt of their homonymy. In Persian love lyrics, however, one n hardly fd the kd of homosexual relatnship that is unrstood the morn Wt; love is a one-sid and asymmetril affair.

The social acceptance of homoeroticism, spe of relig prohibn, was such that ʿOnṣor-al-Maʿāli Kay-Kāv, a prce of Ṭabartān, his well-known mirror for prc, monly known as Qāb-nāma, wrten as a pendium of advice for his son Gilānšāh, not only approv of male homosexualy, but suggts the bt way of practicg , even though he is by all acunts a man of piety, bound by the dictat of relign. The lerary reflectn of homoerotic love is not nfed to Persian poetry, but clear trac of are found prose as well, even though is poetry that manifts self most.

The public acceptance of homoerotic love Persian lerature, more particularly Khorasan and Transoxiana durg the 10th-12th centuri, spe of strong relig prohibn both pre-Islamic and Islamic Persia, however, requir an explanatn. In pre-Islamic Persia the harsh punishment foreen for homosexualy attts to s existence, but there is no evince of s reflectn pre-Islamic “lerature. ” The romanc classil Persian lerature based on Parthian and Middle Persian origals such as Faḵr-al-D Gāni’s Vis o Rām, ʿAyyuqi’s Waraqa o Golšāh, ʿOnsori’s Vāmeq o ʿAḏrā, Neẓāmi’s Ḵosrow o Šir and Haft Peykar, and possibly Attar’s Ḵosrow-nāma all treat of heterosexual love wh no ht of homosexualy.

Nor n any trace of homosexual love be found the entire Šāh-nāma, which clus several romanc such as Zāl o Rudāba, Rostam o Tahma, Bižan o Maniža, and the fatuatn of Sudāba for Siāvaš. Yet New Persian poetry homoerotic love explos a surprisg manner that attts to s wi currency and clear acceptabily, particularly urt circl and among the urt poets.

That emotnal ti should velop between Sufi mentors (pirs) and their young discipl the Sufi hospic (ḵānaqāhs) is only natural, given the wispread tenncy toward homoeroticism and s social acceptance on the one hand, and the excln of women om ḵānaqāhs, on the other. In spe of the transparency of homoerotic love the lyril prelus of the qasidas the 10th-12th centuri, the ghazals and robāʿis of the ʿErāqi school, notably Saʿdi and Hafez, and later the poems of the Safavid school and Indian style, as many ocsnal poems (qatáaʿāt), is surprisg that among historians of Persian lerature, om Hermann Ethé (q.
