Living in fear: Egypt's gay community
Two men exchange rings and hug in
celebration aboard a Nile boat, as
ululations fill the air and a traditional
engagement song plays in the background.
But within days, their celebration has
turned to shock and sadness: after a
video of the "gay wedding" spread across
Egyptian social media, the men were
arrested and eventually sentenced to
three years in prison for distributing
pornographic material.
Homosexuality is not mentioned in the
Egyptian penal code, and technically it is
not illegal, but members of the LGBT
community are often arrested and
charged with pornography, prostitution or
debauchery.
At least 20 homosexual and transgender
persons were convicted of debauchery
and other charges in 2014, which human
rights activists say has been the worst
year for the community in recent
memory.
Fear of arrest and social stigma force the
majority of the LGBT community to
conceal their identity and sexual
orientation.
"You have to be aware of everything
you're doing; your clothes, your reactions
toward people," Nour told CNN. He has
asked us not to use his real name to
protect his identity.
Both dominant religions in Egypt, Islam and
Christianity, prohibit homosexuality. Rather
than the literal translation, the word
usually used for homosexuality in Arabic is
"shezoz", meaning "abnormality."
This category is wide enough to lump
together homosexuals and transgender
people as one, in both media reports and
court cases.
A video posted on a popular news portal
last May showed five people after their
arrest at a residential apartment; their
faces, like their bodies, barely covered.
Two weeks later, they were sentenced to
12, seven and four years in prison. Among
the charges they faced was that of using
the internet to spread debauchery.
"The police would make the defendants go
through their contacts and the pictures
they post on [dating apps and social
media] to use them as evidence against
them and get information on others," says
Dalia Abd Elhameed, gender and women's
rights officer at the Egyptian Initiative for
Personal Rights.
Earlier this year, a group of rights
activists reached out to gay dating
websites urging them to issue safety
warnings to their Egyptian users.
Grindr, a gay dating application, warned
their Egyptian users that "police may be
posing as LGBT on social media to entrap
you." In September, Grindr announced that
locations would be hidden by default for
users in countries such as Egypt, Saudi
Arabia and Russia, which have a history of
prosecuting those from the LGBT
community.
"I'm always afraid if I meet someone and
he is from the government then I'll get
arrested like other people," Nour said.
Such fears encompass both the humiliation
of having one's identity revealed, and the
prospect of coming face-to-face with an
unclear judicial procedure.
The verdicts in such court cases, Abd
Elhameed said, were often illogical.
"Take the [wedding] case for example: The
judge cleared them of the debauchery
charges, yet he sentenced them to three
years for filming and distributing
pornographic material, even though he
ruled that there was no debauchery
involved."
A forensic report from the court found
that the men hadn't engaged in homosexual
intercourse.
"I think the police will not treat them as
humans. This is a very big problem in
Egypt," said psychiatrist Dr. Wa'el Abu
Hendy. He says he supports gay rights,
but he also has another view: "My thought
about this is that this is something that
can be changed, can be corrected," says
Abu Hendy. "Of course there are those
who cannot be cured but we have had
many successes with the treatment."
That view is widely discredited by leading
physiological experts in the West. In 2009,
the American Psychological Association
(APA) recommended that specialists avoid
telling clients that sexual orientation is
changeable through therapy or other
forms of treatment. It warned of "the
potential for harm," stressing the lack of
proof that such types of therapy can lead
to a permanent change in sexual
orientation.
The APA called into question Hendy's
practices.
"Contrary to claims of sexual orientation
change advocates and practitioners, there
is insufficient evidence to support the use
of psychological interventions to change
sexual orientation," said Judith M. Glassgold,
chair of the task force that created the
APA report.
Abu Hendy claims those expert findings are
the result of pressure from the LGBT
lobby.
But Nour said such "change" attempts
were nonsense. "My father took me to a
psychiatrist once and he gave me this
medical thing that actually makes you stop
having any sexual feelings but doesn't cure
you. Know what I mean? So it's bulls***."
In the majority of Egypt's film productions
over the decades, homosexuals are
stereotypically portrayed as overtly
flamboyant and part of criminal or
prostitution rings.
"Family Secrets", a film released earlier
this year, was ground-breaking in having a
gay protagonist. The film faced problems
with the censors and was criticized when
it began showing in Egyptian cinemas.
The stigma and lack of recognition even
extends into the human rights sphere, one
activist told CNN, explaining that some
safety guidelines and advocacy work are
done anonymously, not only due to social
rejection but also because of a largely
unwelcoming community.
"What needs to happen is there needs to
be an official voice for gay people in
Egypt," Ahmed -- not his real name -- told
CNN.
In private, more homosexual men and
women are coming out to their families in
Egypt to varying reactions, Nour said. But
in the public sphere, the situation is more
precarious.
LGBT activists say they find their work
more difficult than their human rights
counterparts in other fields, who are
already bracing for a potential government
crackdown on civil society, particularly
organizations working on human rights.
The activists themselves run a "double
risk" both because of their choice of field
and by exposing their identity as members
of the LGBT community, says Abd
Elhameed.
The "Solidarity with Egypt LGBT" campaign
was launched earlier this year, but an
online petition against the imprisonment of
homosexuals in Egypt received just 216
signatures in six months.
Ahmed would like to see an organization,
recognized by the government, to
advocate on the behalf of the LGBT
community. He believes this would greatly
improve their situation. But with the
Ministry of Religious endowment -- an
influential government agency--
condemning homosexuality, many see little
prospect for change.
"There is no room for dialogue, that is my
problem with Egypt. It is like, I want you
to ask me about it and I will tell you and
maybe you'll understand," he says.
Until that time comes, Egypt's gays and
lesbians will remain in the shadows.
"Hypothetically, there could be an uprising.
But the whole country would back the
mass killings of homosexuals; the whole
country would sweep it under the rug,
they would be behind the violence, that's
the problem," Ahmed said.
"You can't fight the government when you
don't have anything to fight the
government with."

celebration aboard a Nile boat, as
ululations fill the air and a traditional
engagement song plays in the background.
But within days, their celebration has
turned to shock and sadness: after a
video of the "gay wedding" spread across
Egyptian social media, the men were
arrested and eventually sentenced to
three years in prison for distributing
pornographic material.
Homosexuality is not mentioned in the
Egyptian penal code, and technically it is
not illegal, but members of the LGBT
community are often arrested and
charged with pornography, prostitution or
debauchery.
At least 20 homosexual and transgender
persons were convicted of debauchery
and other charges in 2014, which human
rights activists say has been the worst
year for the community in recent
memory.
Fear of arrest and social stigma force the
majority of the LGBT community to
conceal their identity and sexual
orientation.
"You have to be aware of everything
you're doing; your clothes, your reactions
toward people," Nour told CNN. He has
asked us not to use his real name to
protect his identity.
Both dominant religions in Egypt, Islam and
Christianity, prohibit homosexuality. Rather
than the literal translation, the word
usually used for homosexuality in Arabic is
"shezoz", meaning "abnormality."
This category is wide enough to lump
together homosexuals and transgender
people as one, in both media reports and
court cases.
A video posted on a popular news portal
last May showed five people after their
arrest at a residential apartment; their
faces, like their bodies, barely covered.
Two weeks later, they were sentenced to
12, seven and four years in prison. Among
the charges they faced was that of using
the internet to spread debauchery.
"The police would make the defendants go
through their contacts and the pictures
they post on [dating apps and social
media] to use them as evidence against
them and get information on others," says
Dalia Abd Elhameed, gender and women's
rights officer at the Egyptian Initiative for
Personal Rights.
Earlier this year, a group of rights
activists reached out to gay dating
websites urging them to issue safety
warnings to their Egyptian users.
Grindr, a gay dating application, warned
their Egyptian users that "police may be
posing as LGBT on social media to entrap
you." In September, Grindr announced that
locations would be hidden by default for
users in countries such as Egypt, Saudi
Arabia and Russia, which have a history of
prosecuting those from the LGBT
community.
"I'm always afraid if I meet someone and
he is from the government then I'll get
arrested like other people," Nour said.
Such fears encompass both the humiliation
of having one's identity revealed, and the
prospect of coming face-to-face with an
unclear judicial procedure.
The verdicts in such court cases, Abd
Elhameed said, were often illogical.
"Take the [wedding] case for example: The
judge cleared them of the debauchery
charges, yet he sentenced them to three
years for filming and distributing
pornographic material, even though he
ruled that there was no debauchery
involved."
A forensic report from the court found
that the men hadn't engaged in homosexual
intercourse.
"I think the police will not treat them as
humans. This is a very big problem in
Egypt," said psychiatrist Dr. Wa'el Abu
Hendy. He says he supports gay rights,
but he also has another view: "My thought
about this is that this is something that
can be changed, can be corrected," says
Abu Hendy. "Of course there are those
who cannot be cured but we have had
many successes with the treatment."
That view is widely discredited by leading
physiological experts in the West. In 2009,
the American Psychological Association
(APA) recommended that specialists avoid
telling clients that sexual orientation is
changeable through therapy or other
forms of treatment. It warned of "the
potential for harm," stressing the lack of
proof that such types of therapy can lead
to a permanent change in sexual
orientation.
The APA called into question Hendy's
practices.
"Contrary to claims of sexual orientation
change advocates and practitioners, there
is insufficient evidence to support the use
of psychological interventions to change
sexual orientation," said Judith M. Glassgold,
chair of the task force that created the
APA report.
Abu Hendy claims those expert findings are
the result of pressure from the LGBT
lobby.
But Nour said such "change" attempts
were nonsense. "My father took me to a
psychiatrist once and he gave me this
medical thing that actually makes you stop
having any sexual feelings but doesn't cure
you. Know what I mean? So it's bulls***."
In the majority of Egypt's film productions
over the decades, homosexuals are
stereotypically portrayed as overtly
flamboyant and part of criminal or
prostitution rings.
"Family Secrets", a film released earlier
this year, was ground-breaking in having a
gay protagonist. The film faced problems
with the censors and was criticized when
it began showing in Egyptian cinemas.
The stigma and lack of recognition even
extends into the human rights sphere, one
activist told CNN, explaining that some
safety guidelines and advocacy work are
done anonymously, not only due to social
rejection but also because of a largely
unwelcoming community.
"What needs to happen is there needs to
be an official voice for gay people in
Egypt," Ahmed -- not his real name -- told
CNN.
In private, more homosexual men and
women are coming out to their families in
Egypt to varying reactions, Nour said. But
in the public sphere, the situation is more
precarious.
LGBT activists say they find their work
more difficult than their human rights
counterparts in other fields, who are
already bracing for a potential government
crackdown on civil society, particularly
organizations working on human rights.
The activists themselves run a "double
risk" both because of their choice of field
and by exposing their identity as members
of the LGBT community, says Abd
Elhameed.
The "Solidarity with Egypt LGBT" campaign
was launched earlier this year, but an
online petition against the imprisonment of
homosexuals in Egypt received just 216
signatures in six months.
Ahmed would like to see an organization,
recognized by the government, to
advocate on the behalf of the LGBT
community. He believes this would greatly
improve their situation. But with the
Ministry of Religious endowment -- an
influential government agency--
condemning homosexuality, many see little
prospect for change.
"There is no room for dialogue, that is my
problem with Egypt. It is like, I want you
to ask me about it and I will tell you and
maybe you'll understand," he says.
Until that time comes, Egypt's gays and
lesbians will remain in the shadows.
"Hypothetically, there could be an uprising.
But the whole country would back the
mass killings of homosexuals; the whole
country would sweep it under the rug,
they would be behind the violence, that's
the problem," Ahmed said.
"You can't fight the government when you
don't have anything to fight the
government with."
