The title is not a sexual innuendo, although I can totally see why you’d think it is. What it means to say is that Iranian authorities hanged three (more) men for having gay sex, and then threw some other charges at them to make the international community less revolted at their executions.

Everyone laughed when Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad famously claimed there were no gay people in his country, but given that he’s hanging as many of them as he can the bastard may have actually been right. And if my math is correct, there are now -3 gay people in Iran. Funny number that one.
