Iran's Sex Change Solution

Ali Hamedani visits Turkey to meet LGBT exiles who have fled Iran in fear of being forced to change gender.

In Iran, the government denies the existence of homosexuality - being gay there can be punishable by death. But the state does offer a solution - a sex change operation paid for by the government. The pressure on gay Iranians to agree to a sex change as a cure for their homosexuality can be overwhelming. Reporter Ali Hamedani has been to Turkey to meet LGBT exiles who have fled Iran in fear of being forced to change sex.
