We would end up with an ignorant close minded homogeneous self righteous oppressive patriarchal majority. check out our<strong> Arab Lesbian Women and Allies Network (ALWAAN)</strong> at http://www.alwaan.org . Our website features queer Arab related content and forums and is meant to be a space where Arab gay , bisexuals , lesbians and all queers can connect with each other and can engage with non queers or non Arabs who are interested in connecting with Arab lesbians.

To everyone who has common sense, Thank you for making this world a better place, unlike others who create hate and violence against one another.

However, my interest and concern has turned to current issues in the muslim and arab culture/world. I, too, feel that certain minorities and people are enduring situations that I have little insight to. How would I be able to get involved?

I am implying that certain girls experience homosexuality because they have easier access to women, and this is an observation confirmed by some of the lesbians I have spoken to, not a fact of why women in general become lesbians as each one has their own reasons. In the Arab world, this is just one of the factors that contributes to homosexuality in some (and maybe, rare) cases. <blockquote>I see that you too need to make some effort concerning your look towards arab women wether queer or straight.</blockquote> What do you mean? I'm an Arab woman, I don't think I insulted our status in the above article. What else do you disagree with? Hi, thanks for your comment.

I see that you too need to make some effort concerning your look towards arab women wether queer or straight.

What do you mean? I’m an Arab woman, I don’t think I insulted our status in the above article. What else do you disagree with?

I must admit it's quite interesting but you made quite a slip by saying: In Saudi, this is a major problem. I have two friends currently attending high school in Jeddah. Both of them are lesbians. Their reasons? It’s an all-girls school, making it easier to find love with each other than with men, who they hardly have a chance to meet. These girls understand the severity of the issue, that’s why almost all of them keep it a secret. Girls don't turn lesbians cause there are no men in their lives just like boys don't turn gay cause of the lack of women in their life...
