As many people can testify, wedding Arab families wedding can be very tight knit -- we "take care of our own," we encourage symbiotic relationships, we nurture each other, we stifle each other...but...if you dare to deviate, and are actually not ashamed of it, you are automatically shunned and classified as the black sheep. How many wedding Arabs do you personally know that would not vocalize a thought for fear of being ex-communicated from their family? I can name about fifteen. Being queerly vocal has been easy. Being vocally queer as an Arab has been, and sometimes continues to be, a struggle. I wondered why there were not more contributions to this issue of bint el nas. Were people too shy to speak about such a personal subject? |

She hoped we wouldn't have children. "God will punish hilarious you habibti." She was grateful to have me in her hilarious life now because, as she put it, I wouldn't "make it in" to heaven with her. I told her I am in heaven; I'm in love. She ignored that. My sexuality. Why is it so hard to write about? But I do write about it, speak about it, create art about it, announce it to the world everyday. So what's the problem? Arab sexuality. Arab sexuality. An oxymoron? A contradiction? Oil and water? The hilarious first year after my parents disowned me, I couldn't refer to both my ethnic/cultural background and my sexual identity in the same sentence. For me, it was either/or. Ironically, sex was an open issue with my parents...I learned the intimate "guide to heterosexual fucking" at age eleven from my mother. Several years later, I know that sexuality, not sex, is one of the hardest topics for me to discuss in terms of my Arab identity. I was talking to a group of friends about being an individual in an Arab family. |
