Love for All Campaign addresses Arab Citizens

An online magazine is calling on Arab citizens to speak out against homophobia. Aswat magazine is sharing user-submitted photos to address discrimination faced by gay communities in the Arab world, laws that criminalise homosexual relationships, and what they call “media silence” about their cause. The “Love for All” campaign is organised in coordination with the International Day Against Homophobia on May 17.

In an interview with Tunisia Live, US-based activist Maher al Haj affirmed “We aim to educate not only the LGBTQ Arab community but also reach out to others as well who might have many misconceptions about us.”
