        Kudos to Anonymous Sinners for breaking the silence and singing in support of Iranian sexual minorities, which is a first.
        Here is a rough translation of the above song:

        Forgive Us by Anonymous Sinners
        The one who has locked his secret in his heart
        The one who they say is a lost cause so leave him
        The one who is cornered because of being scared of loneliness
        He has seen how they have killed people like him one by one
        Fear of noose and a whip on his body
        Behold how in the name of justice oppression is done
        Something that is natural has become a crime
        Because it is different, so much injustice is done to it
        He has nobody to tell what his pain is to
        Everybody saying it is OK, it is what he deserves
        But since when has oppression become something one deserves?
        Or hanging him from his neck
        For the crime of loving someone of same sex
        What is the difference?
        Well, love is love
        I know for me and you it is difficult to understand
        But he is also a human being that has value
        Understand that he is also a human being that has value
        .
        .
        .
        Forgive us for the cry that was silence till today because of fear
        Forgive us for our denial due to arrogance
        Forgive us that you went on in pain
        For all these names that were and are obscene
        And because they did not become right
        Forgive us that we are asleep
        Forgive us that we are hiding in ourselves
        Forgive us
        Forgive us
