Hiding to survive
“I was afraid to go to the police because they could insult me or take me to jail themselves. All gay and transgender people had to be very secretive and not show themselves.”
Vicenta
Trans Woman
Silence for homophobia
“…When I was leaving a gay club called “911” (Russia), I was hit from behind on the head and was unconscious. The police didn’t apply because I couldn’t say where it happened. And I couldn’t say it because I was gay. The police were also homophobic and I was afraid…”
Dmitry
Gay Russian
Reification of people
“And one day I was forced to leave my country, Honduras. In my environment, they started killing transgender people. They considered us trash, they called us waste to humanity. They killed one of my trans friends. I thought I would be next. I couldn’t go to the police for help because they don’t care if LGBT people die, “one less” they said.”
Xiomara
Trans Honduran Woman
Double life
“I’ve been living a double life, hiding my homosexuality as long as I could. In Kenya homosexuality is punishable by imprisonment for up to 14 years and talking about homosexuality is dangerous. Being a Muslim made it even more difficult”
Howard
Gay man from Kenya
