My Only post on that Gay Girl in Damascus Blog

It was run by an imposter. One who has no doubt done horrendous damage since there's already a huge amount of doubting the stories of WOC, GBLT people and muslims when it doesn't suit people to believe them.

Turns out he was a straight, white, married American living in Scotland. He's also an over-privileged arsehole and that's all I'll say on him - he's already getting more attention than he deserves and it was likely to reason he pulled this stunt in the first place.


If you want to follow some real and decent sources I advise:

LGBT Asylum News
Gay Middle East

And some more tolerating intolera – no, sod it – more tolerating bigotry

if we don't call out or reject bigotry we say we're ok with it, we accept it, we encourage it. We present bigotry as an accepted position and the views they espouse – that people are less, less human, less deserving of rights and respect – are, at best, not worth worrying about and at worst, are perfectly reasonable maybe even moral. And that is damaging – because the reason why this crap keeps happening, the reason why we're denied rights, the reason why we lose jobs are denied housing even the reason why we're beaten and killed is simply because this bigoted shit is tolerated.

And from there we come to the knighthood of Brian Souter bus entrepreneur who poured vast sums of money into the cause of making gay childhoods as hellish and painful as possible.
