Helem

I view the Beirut Book Fair for the Arabic Version of Gay Travels in the Muslim World as a success. Needless to say, in a country where to be gay is still technically illegal, this kept people away.

I have to admit that at first I was afraid to enter, but it was what I spent two years working on - the debut of the Arabic version of my book, Gay Travels in the Muslim World, here in the Muslim world itself.
