Kanga Quote translation: "Every part of my queer self is a portrait of perfection"⠀ - Quote submitted by Kamau Waweru⠀ ⠀ This is the #TRTL kanga honoring Syria's Queer history.⠀ ⠀ Homosexuality is illegal in Syria and punishable by up to 3 years in prison. In 2011, anti-government protests sparked hopes of more rights for minorities but the civil war that followed has been especially hard on religious minorities, women and the LGBT community who've been vulnerable and targeted for attacks. Mahmoud Hassino, who is featured in the kanga, is a Syrian journalist and gay rights campaigner who continues to work with LGBT refugees in his new home in Berlin. It was Hassino's intention to find "Mr Gay Syria" and send him to the Mr Gay World competition to use that platform to shed light on what is happening in Syria. Unfortunately, the competition’s winner, Husein, did not make it to the event because of visa restrictions so Hassino himself traveled to the event to raise awareness of the persecution gay Syrians face. The unique idea to use the Mr Gay World pageant as an activism platform inspired the choice of the kanga quote (which is also a high-five to all the Mr Gay Syria contestants #Yass!) and which also contributed to the kanga's overall "portrait" design style. Mahmoud Hassino also launched Mawaleh, Syria's first LGBTQ magazine, which is also featured in the kanga border pattern.⠀ ⠀ You can check out the link in our bio to learn more about the Mr Gay Syria documentary and what its like being Queer in Syria.⠀ This kanga print is available for purchase, DM if interested ⠀ #Syria #MahmoudHassino #MrGaySyria #Mawaleh

Mr. Gay Syria March 10 | Egyptian Theatre | 7:15 PM Tickets: Outfest.org/fusion2018 --- (Dir: Ayse Toprak, 2017, Turkey/Germany/Malta/France, 85 min, Arabic with English subtitles) Two gay Syrian refugees attempt to rebuild their lives: Husein is a barber in Istanbul, living a double life between his conservative family and his gay identity. Mahmoud is the founder of Syria's LGBTI movement and is a refugee in Berlin. What brings them together is a dream: to participate in an international beauty contest as an escape from their trapped lives and an answer to their invisibility. Will their dream come true or will the refugee crisis and the harsh consequences of being gay in the Muslim world shatter it to pieces? --- Preceded by: Missed Connections (Dir: Michelle Sam, USA, 2017, 15 min) A woman decides to take a risk on a missed connection in order to find true love. ? #outfest #outfestfusion #lgbt #lgbtq #syria #gaysyria #loveislove #mrgaysyria

Mr GAY SYRIA, Nov 3/ 9.15 pm, SIFF Cinema Uptown Gay Syrians have suffered horrific persecution under Isis. But a new documentary by Turkish director Ayşe Toprak about a beauty contest, hopes to follow Moonlight in changing perceptions.. "It made me wish something good would happen to these guys.’ That’s an important feeling. If everyone who sees it feels that way, it may not change policy, but perhaps it will make us feel closer to people we fear.” #lgbt #refugees #siff @vanguardseattle @siffnews @seattletimes @thestrangerseattle

William performs at the Mr Gay Syria competition in Istanbul, Turkey. This is the latest story I've been working on, and tells the tales of the five competitors. William came second place overall. William fled Turkey for Greece and is now stuck in Athens, looking for asylum in Europe and wanting to move to Germany or Sweden. #lgbt #refugee #asylum seeker #gay #kutmaan
