Details for Qzine no. 3

The third issue of Qzine, the online magazine for and about sexual minority communities in Africa. In contains, amongst other things, a portrait of a Nigerian lesbian poet, an interview with a MSM human rights activist in Burkina Faso and two articles on LGBTI persons emigrating to Canada and Belgium.

From the editors: "Diversity is one of the watchwords of the LGBTIQ rights movement, but we don’t always honour the concept in our own culture. The G in LGBTIQ too often is taken – or takes itself – to be the default queer identity. Transsexuals and intersex people (especially) are treated as internal others. Queer media is dominated by gay male content that often makes only token attempts to include our own minorities."
