The whole story is here.

I ignored this story when it first began to blow up—back when the GGID's dad was sticking up for her, back before the GGID was kidnapped—because it seemed off to me, it seemed improbable, too cinematic. And it was. The silver lining: I can with a clear conscience delete all of the emails I got from folks who accused me of ignoring this story because I don't care about lesbians, because I only care about queer people in the West, because I'm an Islamophobe, etc., etc., etc.
