There are not enough books like this one. That' s because a hierarchy of visibility and priority has long favoured white voices over those of colour; gay men over lesbian women; gay and lesbian people over bisexuals. Transgender, non-binary and gender queer people are the most marginalized and this is especially true of people of colour. Today there are still 72 countries that outlaw same sex acts between consenting adults. In 27 of those, the laws apply only to men. In the rest, they apply to men and women. There are 8 United Nations member states where a person can be put to death for participating in consensual sexual activity with someone of the same sex. Even in countries where LGBTQ rights have become more accepted, trans women of colour have a life expectancy of only 35 years. Black gay and bisexual men in the US have a higher H. I. V. rate than any country in the world. About three-quarters of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) men in the UK have personally experienced racism on the gay scene. LGBTQ people of colour exist and fight for the right to exist in ways white narratives rarely acknowledge. Representation matters.
Mona Eltahawy is an award-winning feminist author, LGBTQ advocate and public speaker. She is a contributing columnist to the New York Times and lives between Cairo and New York City. Her previous book Headscarves and Hymens: Why the Middle East Needs a Sexual Revolution (2015) has been translated into 10 languages. Zeyad Salem is a Cairo-based producer. His work includes the film Else, a documentary about people identifying outside the gender binary, which screened as part of the BFI' s London LGBT Film Festival in 2017.
