To My Friends In The Underground
Hiding From Death
Outside of hubpages I am a gay activist not just for my country but for the many countries were homosexuality is punishable by death if you are caught.
I have been told this morning that the underground gay movement in Saudi needs my help, I have spoken to a friend, I cannot divulge their name as they will be killed instantly along with many others, so I am going to post here what I was told, I know this is going to shock many of you.
Our Conversation
Me - You live in Saudi/
Anon I am from Yemen lives in Saudi Arabia
Me - Isn't it dangerous to be gay there? I hope your taking care
Anon - thank you hun ... yes you are right it is so dangrous for us herebut no one know that i am gay.
Me - That is so sad, why are they so afraid of gay people?At least you are okay and please be careful,
