“When the US and UK left Afghanistan in 2021, they made a promise to assist those whose lives were in danger. Yet most LGBTQI+ people were left behind. They had no choice but to go into hiding on rooftops, basements, closets, and even in ditches. People who had been thrown out of their homes went into hiding underneath bridges. Afghanistan was not a hospitable place for gays, lesbians, and trans people even before the military occupation. But now Afghanistan, under the Sharia rule of the Taliban, became the worst place to be an LGBTQI+ person” writes @nematsadat.

It's a very brave act that no one can do, especially in a country called Afghanistan. We are proud of the LGBT+ Afghans who carried out an in-house protest in Kabul today. Hoping for freedom.

Immediately after the protest in Kabul, Qadam and other LGBTQ+ people who took part fled to a neighbouring country to protect themselves from the Taliban – but there’s still a long path to safety. (4/5)
With numerous western governments having introduced policies making it harder for people to claim asylum in recent years, it has become even more difficult for many to access the support they need. (3/5)
Since the Taliban seized power in August 2021, reports have circulated of LGBTQ+ people facing brutal violence and even being killed in Afghanistan.
“This is a regime that doesn’t believe in LGBTQ+ rights, human rights and the rights of women.” (2/5)
Brave LGBTQ+ activists risked their lives to stage a defiant protest at a private residence in Afghanistan’s capital to draw attention to the United States’ failure to offer protection from the Taliban 🧵(1/5)
We are proud of the LGBT+ Afghans who carried out an in-house protest in Kabul today. They spoke up for themselves and the hundreds of thousands of LGBTs in Afghanistan who have no future under Taliban rule.
Brave LGBT+ Afghans risk their lives to stage protest ‘under the noses of the Taliban’ in Kabul
They were protesting at failure of US @StateDept & President @JoeBiden to protect them from Taliban
