The spring of a young Egyptian blogger gay |
Tears of joy, instead Tahir. |
I the 22 years it is internal medicine, he writes well and blogging when time permits ... Like millions of other guys around the world. Except that he is gay and does not hide it in his blog titled
Thoughts and Confessions of a Addict Testosterone (Reflections and Confessions of an addict to testosterone). Unless he lives in Cairo, Egyptian and Moroccan is, current events live intensely and he joined the demonstrators in Tahrir Square because it was "enough Mubarak and his regime. "There it is decided after checking that the demonstrations were not manipulated by a party or a religious movement and the protest came from the Egyptians themselves" who had been oppressed for decades ". He was interviewed by sites activists in the United States, including
Gay City News , Germany and Lebanon.
L e 11 February he was on the spot Tahir after Friday prayers and everything was quiet. Then, with his friends, he went to ten minutes away "for a bite" when a gigantic rumor has sprung and that Motorists began to honk. "We could not believe it, because there had been false rumors, so we called our families that we have confirmed the thing." Moubarack had actually resigned. He returned to the place where people congratulate themselves, kissed, sang, wept with joy. "I had goose bumps! I called my friend to share this moment with him too."

N e have read, heard or seen on TV evidence of this kind. I am particularly interested in what the author experienced up to that historic day: thoughts, hopes, fears. [We'll come back in the coming weeks.] Here's what he wrote Thursday, November 11, 2010, after returning from vacation in Vienna with his Austrian friend who, if I understood him correctly, is in Egypt. "In reality we all live in anxiety [...] even if we try to believe that there is nothing to fear. We all go through bouts of anxiety. Fear that the police raid at the Queen Boat [in 2001, 52 suspected gay men arrested, beaten, tortured, half of them sentenced to three years in prison] does not happen in one of the gay venues in Egypt. Fear that a hardening of the regime forces us to leave the country to seek asylum in the West. Fear stronger against homosexuals who do not accept themselves and vis-à-vis the reported homophobic. Fear of being arrested because I am a gay blogger. Or that gays in the closet accuse me of attracting attention to themselves. Apprehension that my blog becomes a kind of documentary of my life and I come to hate it. Fear of being influenced by people who want to preserve their own idea of reality. Concern my parents discovered my atheism. Terror Salafism [Islamic fundamentalism] is becoming the norm. "
