This is what manufacturing consent looks like. Reminds me a lot of 2001 and 2002 during the war on Afghanistan and preparing for a war on Iraq.
The West’s media is running overdrive to demonize Yemenis.
Crazy how suddenly all these accusations against Yemen without any evidence or sources are reaching the front page.
Can't have anything to do with them opposing israel's Genocide right?
Thanks for the report. Enough people are pushing back in the comments that I’m of a mind to leave this post up, despite the article being a garbage consent-manufacturing one. Imperialist pinkwashing is vile.

The article in www.lgbtnation.com says:
A Houthi court in Dhamar, Yemen, has sentenced nine people to death on homosexuality charges, according to Amnesty International.
Checking Amnesty International:
Yemen: Huthis must stop executions and release dozens facing LGBTI charges On 23 January, the criminal court in Dhamar in northern Yemen sentenced nine individuals to death – with seven sentenced to be executed by stoning, and two by crucifixion – while 23 others were handed prison sentences between six months and 10 years on charges including “homosexuality”, “spreading immorality”, and “immoral acts”. On 1 February, the court of first instance in Ibb in southern Yemen handed death sentences to 13 students and flogging to three others on charges of ‘spreading homosexuality’.
But without any sources
The article in www.lgbtnation.com says:
"Additionally, a Houthi court in Ibb, Yemen, sentenced 13 students to death and three others to flogging for “spreading homosexuality,” according to Agence France-Presse (AFP)."
When you follow the link it leads to L´OrienteToday, and there are no sources in this web page
Looked in AFP site: NOTHING
The article in www.lgbtnation.com puts an image, if you read the caption it says:
Image released by ISIS showing citizens of Kirkuk stoning the lifeless body of a man executed for being gay.
Kirkuk is in Irak, and ISIS is known for doing this things, but it is not related to the "new". Where are Yemen images?
Given that the Houtis are kicking the ass of USA and UK´s Navy these "news" are too convenient. Saudi Arab and UAE used to do this and no news about it, suddenly this "news" about Yemen.
I do not buy it.
Pinkwashing their imperialism as always.

The Houthis aren't the recognized government of Yemen.
They control a large part of the country, and the civil war there is currently in a ceasefire. And of course they're also attacking shipping in the Red Sea with a back and forth going on with the navies in a coalition led by the US.
But let's not give these assholes the legitimacy they want by considering them to be the government of Yemen.
They are the legitimate government of Yemen. The decision is not up to you.
So how would you word it differently? It seems that the article is portraying them as a strong power within the nation that is backed by Iran though.
The article's headline is "Houthis in Yemen will publicly stone & crucify 9 gay men in “gruesome public spectacles”
This is fine. Though the subheader says "The country will imprison or publicly flog 60 other suspected homosexuals". Should be using words like "the group" or "the faction" not "the country".
Anyway, the link here is "Yemen will publicly stone & crucify 10 gay men in “gruesome public spectacles”
Not sure the reason for changing it from the headline of the article. Perhaps the linked article did have the same headline as here when OP posted it, and they changed it because of similar feedback I'm making here. Don't know if OP can change it now. Anyway, it's been noted in by my comment and other comments, so I guess it's fine.
Such are the problems inherent in alternative media.
"Remember everyone we have to respect their beliefs...."
Religious freedom can eat my asshole. Abolish it all, especially Abrahamic religions.
So freedom for all except who you decide isn't worthy?
It's pretty easy to be a member of an Abrahamic religion and go your entire life without killing anyone.
Don't blame the structure for the monsters that abuse it.
You mean the structure that’s completely monster-made?
The only thing that stops them is secular law and punishment. They say this all the time. And while it may be possible to do so it is also improbable that they stop others who do. We have a wide variety of examples of this.
... again how is this different from any abuser who uses their position of authority to get away with horrific acts?
Because they formed a group and conspire to do it and export it to other regions.
The united States of America?
Hahaha.. good one...(/s)
But he asked why this was worse.
Maybe some gays should do the same to Muslims
Someone hasn't learned about the cycle of violence.
They sure havent.
