With news every few days of African nations considering or imposing draconcian new laws on LGBTQI citizens, it’s certainly not a good time for many gay people on that continent. This short film takes a look at those who’ve sought refuge in South Africa, the only country in that region which has protection for LGBT people written into its constitution.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and inter-sex Africans seek asylum and refuge in South Africa, where the Constitution promises equal rights. Tolerance and acceptance, however, does not come easily. Find out how gay rights activism has helped challenge and overcome xenophobia and homophobia.’
Take a look at the short film above.
