Being Queer and Somali: LGBT Somalis At Home and Abroad - Paperback
by Afdhere Jama (Author)
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Somali people in home countries and worldwide, telling their untold stories. Weaving between cultural and religious limitations, LGBT Somalis balance celebrating their sexualities or gender identities while keeping in mind the harsh realities that family, community, or local laws might be against them. This collection of stories defies both the headlines in western nations and the complete denial of LGBT identities by the mainstream Somali communities.
Afdhere Jama was born and raised in Somalia. He is the author of the books ILLEGAL CITIZENS and QUEER JIHAD, both on LGBT Muslims around the world. He was the editor of HURIYAH, the first magazine for and by LGBT Muslims between 2000 and 2010. He lives in the United States.
