Gay Egypt 2004-06: Gay Life (sort of) in Modern Egypt- Globalgayz.com Story and photos by Richard Ammon 3/15/06 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
Virtually all citizens agree that homosexuality is an offense against Allah and his prophet. There is no sympathy or support. You?re on your own to ferret out secret contacts in stolen moments of passion. Nevermind the larger violation of impoverished millions, the dilapidated infrastructure of the electric grid, polluted canals or lack of running water or trash disposal. The impetus for improving working class life (after 5000 years of civilization here) is mute compared to the fervent passion of persecution that dwells against citizens (many very devout) who happen to be gay or lesbian.
