KURDISH GAYS LIVE LIFE THE SHADOWS IRANIAN KURDISTAN
Obscured existence of homosexualy and transsexualy si Kurdish culture; Case studi of Gays and lbians Kurdistan and diaspora * gay kurds *
Bee of this unwillgns to treat the topic, transgenr and homosexual people Kurdish society have never been given a regnised role. although male homosexualy has been rmally known about, if not discsed, lbianism and transsexualy is much ls tolerated, even rmally. There is a srcy of wrten rerds about the issue of homosexualy Kurdish society as well, although there have been attempts by Kurdish or non-Kurdish wrers to rearch this cultural taboo.
In what follows I show some se studi of dividuals whom I terviewed for this rearch, and explore their motivatns and practic of homosexualy, as well as the ways they see themselv viewed Kurdish society. Iran is perhaps unique the Mlim world for s lenient attu towards transsexuals; although homosexuals may face the ath sentence if open about their sexualy, transgenr dividuals are not only tolerated, but ernment support is available for their treatment. My father almost killed me when he found out that I was gay/transsexual, I had to flee Kurdistan and go to live Tehran.
Near Hotel Aziz there is rather dark and dirty alleyway which leads to an upstairs bar, a “Kurdish gay and lbian bar”.

Even though there is such a taboo surroundg any kd of non-nformist sexualy, be gay or transsexual, a public bate is begng to emerge on the topic, led by diaspora activists. After a terrible human rights vlatn which a gay Kurdish uple had been whipped as ‘punishment’ Iran, a Kurdish gay supporter on wrote:. Gays Kurdistan, like most Middle Eastern societi, are really looked down upon bee of relign and even our culture.
Homosexualy was always looked at as a bad thg throughout tim, while early Europe perasty was que mon.

HOW TO SAY GAY KURDISH (KURMANJI)
Even though male homosexualy has long been known Kurdish society, and ed as a rogatory social tegory even when not talked about, the public emergence of lbianism is still very early stag. This has begun northern Kurdistan (Turkey), where other parts of Kurdistan gay or lbian public life is virtually non-existent. While Turkey’s secular laws do provi some opportuny for gays, lbians and transsexuals to anize public lobbyg and other activi for their acceptance society, they are mostly absorbed to Istanbul-based NGO’s.
Therefore the needs of this hidn muny of Kurdish gay, lbian and transsexuals are still largely ignored. Three major forms of homosexual relatnships are proposed by anthropologists: egalarian, genr-stctured, and age-stctured. Lookg at the history of Kurdish attus regards to homosexualy, one uld observe a large numbers of ‘lol’ referenc ma to dividuals (ually rich and middle aged, always men), who were believed to pay for sex wh young boys.
