I was in Iran as a solo gay traveler for 10 days as part of a guided tour. My husband didn't come with me on this trip. In this article, we explore these arguments in detail as well as giving comprehensive guidance and safety tips based on Michael's first-hand experience to fellow LGBTQ travelers who also want to visit Iran. Iran is not a gay travel destination and it won't be for the foreseeable future! However, for adventurous LGBTQ travelers who are already set on the idea of visiting Iran, they should be aware of the law and follow the tips we set out in this guide so they can experience a safe trip in Iran. Let's make one thing clear, our intention is not to promote gay travel to Iran. So, why on earth are we even daring to publish such an article promoting gay travel to Iran in the first place? When it comes to LGBTQ rights, Iran is as bad as it can get! Most people who follow the news will have heard about the terrible punishments that Iran has imposed for people even suspected of being gay!
