LGBT people in the Middle East and North Africa are finding ways to speak out. Despite state-sponsored repression and social stigma, they are telling their stories, building alliances, networking across borders, developing national and regional movements, and finding creative ways to combat discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
