Overview

'We will repeat it often in the months
that follow, to friends who were not there, to sceptics, to ourselves: in that
moment, it felt like pride.'

For the first time, LGBTQ+ Arabs come
together to share their personal stories of hope, struggle and love.

This ground-breaking anthology features
the searingly honest and moving memoirs of eighteen queer Arab writers - some
internationally bestselling, others using pseudonyms. Here, we find
heart-warming connections and moments of celebration, alongside essays
exploring the challenges of being LGBTQ+ and Arab.

From a military base in the Gulf to
whispers between lovers caught between the bedsheets; and from a concert in
Cairo where the rainbow flag was raised to a crowd of thousands, to making it
hap-pen as a drag queen in exile, this collection celebrates the true colours
of a rich, vibrant Arab queer experience.
