“Reading through the comments it is horrifying to notice the hate and rejection of LGBQ

community in the name of national pride, influence of western modernity and

civilization, religious convictions, social and cultural construction of gender and
sexuality ideology. All of which is often expressed as life-threatening messages to the
advocates and LGB communities. Those supporting the notion of same-sex sexual
relationships as a western construct, advocates, regardless of their sexuality, are dubbed
as sellouts and beneficiaries of pro-LGBTIQ western institutions.”
In Ethiopia discussion social movements to at least start a conversation about the
existence and the right of LGBTIQ community is none existence. Only the internet and
social media seems to be the safe space. And sometimes happen to see demonstrations
in international towns by the Ethiopian LGBTIQ communities just to express their
frustration on the systematic denial of their existence public hatred. And I want to share
a picture and a quote from social media activist of LGBTIQ right in Ethiopia.
