In coincidence with my birthday, I'm sharing my first piece with @TimepDC on the criminalization of queer individuals in the MENA region, its origins and forms. My birthday wishes extend to every queer spirit, hoping for joy, fulfillment, liberation, and dignity for my community
NEW: In the MENA region, the LGBTQI+ community faces discriminatory legislation that targets and criminalizes their identities. Nonresident fellow @AMdawkhi analyzes how legal frameworks are used to marginalize, scapegoat, and oppress queer communities.

LGBTQI+ deserve to be treated with dignity, equality and full citizenship!
The year 2024 was marked by an intensification of crackdowns on LGBTQI+ individuals and communities across the MENA region. Nonresident fellow @AMdawkhi highlights the urgency in addressing the exclusion and marginalization of LGBTQI+ individuals, especially in times of crisis.

🇹🇳🏳️🌈 20 March 1956-2024 , are we truly independent? There is no independence day without decolonizing the tunisian penal code written under French colonialism since 1913 that criminalizes LGBTQI+ persons ! #Queers_for_Liberation #LGBTQI #ARTICLE_230 #Tunisia #IndependenceDay

On Valentine's day I would like to highlight that love is still illegal in 65 countries, and our dear beloved Tunisia is one of them! LGBTQI+ persons are punished up to 3 years in prison and subject to torture and violence because of who they love!🏳️🌈 #article230 #Tunisia #LGBTQI

We the queers of the global south turned our back to Jessica Stern, the representative of the department of state as an act of protest. The department of state should stop funding the IDF and held accountable for the crimes they committed! #justice #palestine #QueersForPalestine
