Pakistani man tries to start a gay club… and immediately finds himself committed to the loony bin

In America, when individuals express abnormal sexual behavior…they receive preferential treatment in the hiring process, they’re invited into the kindergarten classroom, and they’re given a pull-out-all-the-stops month-long celebration where they can act with sexual impunity on the streets, supported by nearly every single corporation and government agency.

But in Pakistan? They’re immediately hauled off to the insane asylum for psychiatric intervention. Here’s the story, from a report out at Fox News yesterday:

Man sent to mental hospital for trying to start gay club in Pakistan: report
A Pakistani man is currently in a mental hospital after he tried establishing the first gay club in the country, according to a recent report.
The man, whose identity has not been released, was interviewed by the Telegraph on Sunday shortly before he was institutionalized. The man explained that he filed an application to the deputy commissioner of Abbottabad to establish a gay club, which he tentatively called Lorenzo Gay Club.
The application reportedly explained that the club would be designed to be a ‘great convenience and resource for many homosexual, bisexual and even some heterosexual people residing in Abbottabad in particular, and in other parts of the country in general.’ The application also noted that ‘there would be no gay (or non-gay) sex (other than kissing).’
The man was then detained by authorities and transported to a mental hospital in Peshawar, which is roughly 125 miles west of Abbottabad, according to the report.

Now, what that “treatment” looks like in Pakistan I don’t really know, but I can wager a guess—and it looks like someone in the comments had the exact same thought, because we must both be wondering how high the roof of this “mental hospital” is:
