BREAKING: Momentous victory for human rights in #Mauritius as Supreme Court strikes down discriminatory law criminalising same-sex intimacy. Mauritius joins growing list of African nations that have decriminalised same-sex sexual activity.
Ethiopia is cracking down on gay sex in hotels. Authorities are targeting as well bars and entertainment joints in the capital Addis Ababa where they allege gay sexual activities are taking place. https://t.co/rOsjQlLIYG
Yet another manifestation how cyber space helps us to travel to the future!!!
We have zero doubts such day will manifest physically in Ethiopia. The reason we speak out loud such statement is because as a community we are demanding our respect to be seen as human.

Trust, your queer and trans Muslim friends and family (whether or not theyβre out to you) are watching your responses to this statement, are going to remember your words and your inflections and your silences.
Being out as queer and Muslim is a privilege I'm lucky to have. But it's not bravery. I face a miniscule of hate & difficulty compared to all the queer Muslims out there you *don't* see. No one of us can be free until everybody is free! π³οΈββ§οΈ
