It makes me sick to think of the increasing suffering our gay brothers and sisters in the Muslim world will inevitably endure as this century progresses.

It should be one of our top priorities as a movement. Not sure how.

This sexism is why I willwrote to the Dubai authorities a few years ago telling them why I would never visit there. I will not give them my money to oppress women. Now, if only the civilised world make finding alternative sources of fuel the priority it should have been decades ago, that would really help a lot.

Once again, homophobia is intimately tangled with sexism and enforcement of a particular style of gender expression. That’s why we all need to be feminists and also work to protect everyone’s right to gender expression.

On a lighter note, I wonder how a woman in head-to-toe covering manages to act butch. Sensible shoes? Extra pockets in the burqa?
