Podcast: Homosexuality in Sudan – A conversation with a gay blogger
Podcast conducted by Reem Shawkat (Sudan).
This is the first podcast in a long series on homosexuality in Sudan. Mideast Youth talks to Ali, a single gay Sudanese man living and working in the Gulf. When Ali started his blog, black-gay-Arab, he was only trying to find himself. Three years later, Ali has a lot of followers and writes about his identity as a gay man, posts videos and songs featuring interviews with mothers finding about that their sons are gay and shares the struggle of LGBT people in many Arab countries.
In this podcast, we discuss his identity, his struggles and the situation of LGBT people in the Arab world.
In his blog, Ali shares some of his views on the subject of coming-out of the closet or revealing to people your sexuality.

The last three years we have worked very hard to put the foundation of our association; we still have a lot of hard work left to do to reach our goals. Some of people had never expected this association and this site would come to life. Yes…we can…and yes…here we are, freedom will ring for all LGBTI people.
