Ranting

Ok I think it's finally getting to me, the whole situation in Ramallah I mean. I don't know how much longer I can take it…

where can I start? Well a week ago one of my high school class mates asked me if I was gay and I said yes and she was so happy because one of her gay friends finally admitted it… so far so good, but the other day we were at a party and after a few drinks she admitted that before knowing I'm gay she could only take this much of me (her thumb and index fingers quite close to each other) and after she knew she could take much more of me…. So what? Just because I'm gay I'm cool now… I don't understand I'm still the same fucking person… why would any thing change? Or is it just because she feels cool now that she has a gay friend? As it's a trendy thing now you know…

take 2: the other day me and the people I work with were sitting down for lunch, two of the guys started talking about their adventures as masculibe men how they hit that guy for dating their friend's sister and how that ugly girl who looks like a lizard was into him etc… all the typical chauvinistic oh look at me I'm a man shit. And then of course the word fafi came up fafi is a word in Arabic that is something like pouf, a word that "real masculine" men use to describe "fake, not so masculine" men. And that word fuckin pisses me off, their definition of a real man is someone who has to have fights the whole time be rude to women, kill who ever dares to talk to your sister and then kill her… date as many women as possible… and if you dare respect women support their rights or not have a fight a week then your instantly labeled fafi…

take 3: the other day I was in a party and a fight started y? a guy touched a married woman's ass and her husband and brother started a fight because of that… y? because it's a matter of honor… you know if it was because it's inappropriate because he's objectifying the woman then It would have been less annoying, and if the woman just hit him straight ahead that would've ben even better but honor.. 4 fucks sake… the men are just worried about their honor not about how the woman's feelings…and their all supposed to be well educated and open minded FUCK…

WHAT A GREAT LIFE… EH??? I just can't take this hypocrisy and bullshit any more…

update

ok guys so I'm finally back :)
I finished my studies and I'm back in Ramallah now :) I'm out to most of my friends now here which is prety cool and the circle is growing not sure how good that is... but so far everything is good. my mom found out about me being gay a month ago and she's still in a total state of denial so wish me luck with that :)
greetings from Ramallah to all my gay and atheist friends all over the world :D

رئيس العلماء المسلمين بالجزائر: المرأة تتلذذ بضرب زوجها!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.alarabiya.net/articles/2008/11/24/60730.html
ما هذا الهبل و التخلف؟؟؟؟ المراة تلذذ بضرب زوجها لها؟ من وضعه متحدثا ياسم المراة؟ انه لامر مخزي و محزن بان تصدر هذه الاقولا عن شخص عربي و يسمس نفسه مسلم!!!! على ما اعتقد لانه يجب فصله من وظيفته و سجنه حتى لاقواله المهينة للمراة!!! او بالاحرى يجب اجباره على عيش حياة مراة متزوجة تضرب من قبل زوجها لنرى كيف سيستمتع هو بذلك!!!

mithly mithlak





this is a caligraphy that I really love, it says mithly mithlak (mithly means gay, but when you say mithly mithlak together it means we are both equal, or there are no differences between us somethung like that, and then you have salam waqubool, which means peace and acceptance. a very meaningful and beutiful piece of caligraphy :D

introduction

ok the first post naturally should be an introduction of who I am, there you go.
A 19 yo Palestinian Student from Ramallah. Studying abroad. I am an atheist and Gay at the sametime.not the best combination in the world i Know, especially if you come from an arabic country. Yes I am for real. Yes there are Palestinian atheists. and yes just like any other country
in the world there are gay Palestinians.
طالب فلسطيني. عمري 19 سنة. عشت طول عمري في رام الله. بعرف حالي كملحد و ذات ميول جنسية مثلية. مش احسن خلطة بالدنيا خصوصا اذا انت من بلد عربي بس هي اللي صار.
I'm pretty sure that this blog will offend many people, and will surprise many more, but I've been brought up in a democratic house where u can say and believe in anyting you want, this is easy when it comes to atheism as all my family n friends know that I don't believe in God. since my parents are not religious, this is not a problem, many of my friends think that I'm crazy but they respect me n respect my beliefs. on the otherhand this is the only place where I can express my gay self proudly and without fear, untill now at least. as I hope that Palestine will be just like lebanon one day and hopefully even better.
