Rihanna’s a fashion savant, that’s undeniable (just look the her CFDA Style Icon Award for proof). She made naked dresses a thing before Beyoncé; killed it in Guo Pei at the Met Gala in a cape with a train that nearly spanned the entire red carpet; made a couture loofah seem cool — it was Giambattista Valli after all — at the Grammys; to name just a few of her transcendent fashion moments. And at the BET Awards she was at her best yet again wearing a gold tuxedo jacket as a dress. While the satin piece was stunning and innovative (no shirt, no pants, no problem!), it was the duct tape she wore on her wrist as a bracelet that truly made a statement.

ISIS responds to US legalizing gay marriage by killing four gay men

Several Islamists also reportedly sent out anti-gay messages on the social networking site using the hashtag #LoveWins. That hashtag was used by many worldwide to celebrate the ruling insame sex marriage

According to The Mirror, videotaped footage of the executions show that the men were forced to line up atop the five-story building before being thrown over the edge. There are no audible screams from the men as they plunge to their deaths, however spectators can be heard gasping as the bodies descended from the sky.

ISIS has long been critical of homosexual individuals, and has publicly executed men over their sexual orientation in the past who are exposed as gay by its “flirting squads.” Earlier this month, the group released graphic footage of its members dangling gay men over the edge of a building before dropping them to their death. The men are then stoned if they manage to survive the fall.
