RIYADH K WENT TO A PRI WHERE ’S ILLEGAL TO BE GAY – HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED

How do you hold a Pri para a untry where beg gay is illegal?

The untry has a poor rerd on LGBTQ rights, wh lonial-era laws agast homosexualy, a kg who reportedly scribed gay people as “satanic” and rife societal discrimatn. I went along still actually feelg a lot of self-hate, shame and ternalised homophobia, but also this weird and unspoken sire to fd a sense of muny, or to fd out who the hell I was. So I knew that this first ever Pri Swaziland, a tradnally homophobic untry, was gog to be absolutely massive, and I thought there was a really amazg story to be told there.

Here we have a untry that has a homophobic Kg who lls s LGBTQ cizens ‘satanic’, where there are still anti-sodomy laws, where LGBTQ people are harassed daily and fear for their liv – the list go on and on. We had three ma ntributors this film: A gay guy named Mlando, a lbian lled Alex, and a trans woman lled Polyrp, and was amazg to see that each of them had their own stggle, but their stggl were very dividual.

So the gay guy, Mlando, actually fled Swaziland to neighbourg South Ai to have a somewhat ee and open life.

I have never met a more betiful people than the Swazi people, and let me jt say this: I never thought that I would meet homophob that I would say are betiful people.

I met homophobic people Swaziland that were absolutely betiful people si and out, and what ma them betiful was their willgns to learn and to change their perceptns. There’s a scene the documentary where I have a nversatn wh teenagers who say the Pri para is disgtg, and that ’s gog to be petrol bombed, and wh 10 mut of speakg to them and revealg that I’m gay, talkg about what means to be a gay person, they went om beg aaid and angry about to shakg my hand and sayg, ‘We’re gog to tell our iends what ’s really like to be gay, bee now we unrstand’. If we n do that 10 mut wh a group of lads who have stutnalised homophobic beliefs, then image what n we do wh days, and weeks, and months of visibily and normalisg who we are.
