NYT Organizes "Exclusive" Tourist Trip to Iran (Meaning if You're Gay, Jewish or Israeli You Can't Go)

At a mere seven grand per person, it's a steal:
According to the promotional material on the website, the tour, which starts in Tehran, journeys “across country through beautiful landscapes, arid mountains and rural villages to experience vibrant bazaars,” where the traveler can “get lost in ancient cities and learn about the traditions and cultures of Iran. Traveling in a small group and staying in luxurious hotels along the way, your journey through Iran will reveal the secrets from this once forbidden land.” 
Just so long as those secrets don’t include being Jewish or gay.
Unless you get to tour some of those secret nuclear installations, I'm not coming.

One of Iran's "vibrant" traditions.
