A Jihad for Love

May 5, 2008

There was this one time, Aisya Farid was saying, rather melodramatically, yet I could feel some truth in it: “This is what happens when I look at guys! I end up heartbroken. I think I’ll just keep my eyes on girls luh!”

“EH! No!” &Zaf went into this shit about how there’s hope or something. Being Zaf, she was all hyper &animated, arms all over the place trying to drive her point home. Whereas I on the other hand, the complete opposite. Serene, calm &quiet. Though all I did was raised my palm up surreptitiously for a quick, (&discreet) high-five. Low-five, really. Aisya Farid totally got me, man. &when her palm hit mine in a loud, defiant smack, it was like a silent victory. Thank you for joining the club, please come again.

&on the topic of homosexuality…

A Jihad for Love is about a daring documentary filmed in twelve countries from India, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Egypt, South Africa and France, and nine languages. Muslim gay filmmaker Parvez Sharma has gone where the silence is loudest: the complex global intersections between Islam and homosexuality..a combination so taboo that very little about it has been documented. Until today.

I really, REALLY wanna watch this. BUT UNFORTCH, THEY DON’T SHOW IT HERE IN SINGAPORE IWONDERWHY.
