Gay Somalis in London Launch Community Website 

UK Gay News
Saturday, November 17, 2007

“Though we live in the West, we still fear of our families and what the Somali community in general could do to us.”

LONDON A new website, Somali Gay Community, has been launched to serve the small gay Somali community in London – and beyond.

It is believed to be the first of its kind in Somali history and culture anywhere in the world.

“Somalia is an Islamic country and, as they think that homosexuality is a Western illness, we do not exist in their eyes,” said Muraad, one of the Somali gays in London behind the website.

Muraad is the name used within the London gay Somali community. 

“Though we live in the West, we still fear of our families and what the Somali community in general could do to us.”

“What our people think about us is one thing, but the thing that matters us the most is finding a way of helping and supporting each other through the most difficult times of our lives,” he said.

When the website became a reality seven days ago, it was a dream come true.  And the dream started eight years ago.

That was when Muraad first ‘came out’ to his best friend – also a Somali.

“After a long discussion I told him that I will do something about making information available to all other gay Somalis,” he recalled.

“His reaction was that ‘you will only bring shame to your family [Muraad] – and by the way, how can you help others if you are in trouble yourself for doing something that is against our religion and culture’.

“At the time, if I knew that I was not ill and that I was not the only Somali gay person in the world, I would not have had suffered so much,” he said.

“For us – and I mean Somali gays, there are no gay role models to look up to and to identify yourself as gay, or Khaniis, which in Somali is a very bad insult.  It is very hard,” he admitted.

The website itself was two years in the making.

“Our aim is to reach out those who need us the most and help them,” Muraad continued.

“I am so proud to have found my mates.  Their dedication and courageous efforts have made this project what it is now.

“Of course we fear the consequence, though in different degrees.

“But that will not stop us,” he insisted.

The Somali Gay Community website, which is still in its early development, is in English and Somali.

Already it contains helpful information for gay Somalis, ranging from health matters to support services.

There is an interesting page on “Homosexuality in Islam” and a message board where members can interact, supporting each other.  Membership is free.

Brief Somali language welcome

Ku soo dhawow bulshadayada

Hadaad tahay qof khaniis ah waxa daruuri ah in aad fahantid ka sokow halganka aynu la kulano markaynu is aqabalayno nafsi ahaanteena iyo ta bulshada dhexdeedaba, in ay ugu muhiimsan tahay inaynu garawsano in aynaan kelideen ahayn iyo in ay jirto bulsho weyn oo khaniisiin ah taas oo qof ka heli karo nidaamyo badan oo caawimo iyo aqbalaad leh.

Dad badan baa u arka galmada waxa ugu badan ee macna weyn leh aragtida khaniisnimada. Tani kaliya maaha ta keliya ee dhaqanka ku dhegan laakiin sidoo kale waa eray gaf ku ah dadka qaar. Iyada oon si khalada ahayn, bulshada khaniisiinta dhexdeeda, galmadu waa waxa ugu fudud ee sahalka lagu helo laakiin jacayl ka dhexeeya laba nin ama laba naagood waa mid sidoo kale si caadi ah looga helo. Tan oo ay ku jiraan isku xirnaansho jir iyo qiiro leh oo heersare ah.

Jacaylka iyo isjiidashada labo nin dhexmartaa waa wax caalami ah oo la cadeeyay bilaw ilaa dhamaad taariikhda dhaqamo badan oo kala duwan. Khaniisnimadu maaha caado xun oon la sheegi karin xumaan darteed ama hab nololeed uu qof soo qaadan karo markuu ku noolaado galbeedka sida aynu inagu badankeenu ka maqalay reerkeena, asxaabteen ama bulshadeena oo leh.

Saaxiibtinimada Khaniisiinta dhexdeeda waxa weeye mid sidoo kale muhiim ah maadama xaaladaha badankood ay inoo noqdaan qoyskeena labaad. Dadka qaarkood inba inka badan bay isku haleeyaan marka laga gooyo qoysaska dhaqameed.

Markaad tahay wiil khaniis dhalin yar ama gabadh khaniisad dhalin yar oo Soomaali ah, in aad banaanka u soo baxdid waa dhacdo laga cabsado in la sameeyo maadama ay ku lug leedahay in aad heshiisiisid diinteena iyo dhaqankeena kuwaas oo sida badan ka soo horjeeda khaniisnimada.

Hasa yeeshee waxaa jira laba nooc oo banaan usoo bixis ah: banaan usoo bixista uu qofku naftiisa isku soo banaan baxo iyo mid uu u soo banaan baxo dadweynaha. Ta aadka u mihiimka ah labada waa isku soo banaan bixista shaqsi ahaaneed, aqbashidna in aad adigu soo jiidatid kuwa aad isku jinsiga tihiin iyo inay yihiin dareemo dabiici ah ood ku dhalaty kuwaas oon la karin in la bedelo iyo iyada oo aan macnahu ahayn in aad adigu qof kale u sheegto wax galmadaada ku saabsan.

Intaa waxaa sii dheer, is aqablaadani daruuri ahaan macnaheedu maahan in aad adigu ka takto ama dayac tirto qaabyada kale ee shaqsi ahaantaada ka mid ah kuwaas oo ay ka mid yihiin dhaqanka, diinta ama ta badanaa ugu muhiimsan shaqsi ahaantaada intaad kadaba ordaysid waxaad adigu u malaynaysid waxa khaniis ama khaniisadi ahaan lahaayeen.

Ahaw qofkaad adigu tahay! Waa dareen xornimo leh in aad hab siisid qaab kasta oo shaqsiyadaada ah halkii aad ku nolaan lahayd inkiraad iyo murugaysnaan.

 i have seen many Somali Muslims on the site
www.jorgesgang.com .i paid for a 3 day trial
with this group,and i could not believe what i saw.
you never know what someone elese is doing under cover.
how could thay talk people into doing this.
ourenemy @ 11/20/2007 11:43 PM EST
 I don't think we need to respond to GAYS since we don't share the same values and culture. Allah created men & women for each other & not the dirty vice versa. Many non-believers such as Christians and Jews believe it is a sin to be a GAY where as VERY few IGNORAN*T SOMALIS THINK IT IS OKAY.

HOL WHO MOST OF US THOUGHT WERE EDUCATED ARE FOR THE WRONG REASONS [PROMOTING THIS EVIL*].
maxamedsoomaali @ 11/20/2007 7:00 PM EST
 Poem  
We are proud gay brothers and sisters. We know religion and we are tolerant.

We are thick skinned and keep harm at bay.
We are bringing back up our name that you have attacked and dragged in the mud.
We are speaking for a people that you have oppressed.
We will claim our rights through debate and  knowledge.
Those who welcome and want to debate with us, we will welcome  them.

And those who fear us, we will make them jump further.......

I conclude with these words: a GAY is a GAY.
This is a big name of great  value.
It is for he who is your brother and shares your name, so give him  his due.
Throughout the world, we come in white, black and green.
Our  numbers approximate a billion.
Our struggle is greater than ever and in  parts of the world, we come first in the constitution.
Oscar Wilde has lit  the way for us and we are far from taboo.
Somalis, do not even try anything,  as you will fall behind the rest of the word.
I deliver my message with  welcoming words and a healthy debate.

Arraweelo10 @ 11/20/2007 12:34 PM EST
 Madaxeey, are you telling me that there was no gays in Somalia and this is new phenomena found in the western culture. I haven't forced you to adapt any culture, it is up to you how you want to conduct your life be gay or straight.

In terms Marxuumada siinka dheer lagu dilay, maxaa siinka loogu sugay, laakin aan loogu dilin gurigeeda ama xafiiskeeda ayadoo ka soo baxeysa, sniperka itoobiyanka ah ama dowlada maxuu ula sugaayo intaas asagoo Xamar ku qaarajin kara. Waad ogtahay nimankii caruuraha iyo islaamah hoos harsada inay yihiin kuwa dilay, intay quudinaysay isla ayaga.
madaxeey @ 11/20/2007 11:14 AM EST
 Aarrawelo it is sad that you have to speculate who killed Madina. But in reality we know the TFG and the Ethiopian army is the obstacle for the distribution of aid to the misplaced civilians. We also know who the snipers are. If you have to speculate about Madina’s death back it up with concrete facts not fiction.  No need for name calling attack the issue not my upbringing. Whether you like or dislike gays “tas waa mid adiga ku taal” but don’t try to force us this adapted western culture of yours. Madina (Alaha u naxariste) was a true feminist; even she would have said “acudi billahi” if she had heard that there are Somali gay community.  You should follow her steps and fight the Ethiopian enemy by any means necessary. I can’t believe anyone with conscious would come to the defense of this totalitarian Ethiopian regime. Word of advice keep your culture and love your people.

 Attention to Somalis:

HOL should never have posted such a disgusted article about homo. I call to all my fellow Somalis to boycot HOL since they make money from the visitors for many of the articles we click they collect money. I know many people who open websites just to make money on advertisement. Even if HOL removes this article today, that shouldn't change our propspective on them since all the damage has been done already. They have successfully promoted this disgusted group whether they making money from this group or whether they don't care or members of the HOL belonging to this group.

The fact that they haven't voiced their opinion in this matter tells me they support this group.. May Allah guide us all to the true path..
someone @ 11/20/2007 1:29 AM EST
 AKH! The article is still there. Who cares what we say? HOL proves typical Somalis with "maxaa ka micnaa" mindset. Watch out for they may put the article in the left/right banners. All Somali Ulimas, please condemn HOL in your Friday Khutbas and warn our community about westernising and eliminating our ISLAMIC values.

kacaan @ 11/19/2007 7:22 PM EST
 This is my second time I'm trying to write my opinion and it doesn't show up why I really can not say but I hope this will. First of all let me say to those of you who are demanding this article to be removed should be a shamed for your shamfull suport of what is going on in our homeland Somalia and not demanding it should be stoped and infact some of you gave justification for the senseless killing of inocent women and children and now you are demanding inocent article to be removed because it is worst than taking human life!! It is really upsite-down mentality and I hope you will stop that nonsence! Because your writing convey no intelligible ideas and it is absurd. Some of you claimed talking to a mullah and he said it is a sin to publish such an article...I say that is nonsence because ask him what is he doing in UK why not move to Saudi Arebia where his sick idea would be ok why is he living with a Nation that is ok with Gays ..I suggest you should ask him that question. Finally I like to say this to you all as it was said before that one can have his/her opinion but not his/her fact and the fact is that there are Somali Gays and we as Somalis should welcome this fact and let them live in peace. I for one say congrat to all Somali Gays and Lesbian and surely I will teach my children to respect you and I will be leading by example for them by saying I have great respect for those Somalis who are Gays and Lesbians.

 HOL please, please, Please remove this from the website. Keeping in mind who is your readers/visitors. They are almost all Somalis, and posting this bad news is promoting evil to Somali Community. Free speech controls by morality, personal responsibility and laws. You are violating moral responsibility, personal responsibility and mainly the law of mighty Allah while you post this an acceptable article. Never undermine the core value of your common customers (Somalis, norms and taboos.
Arraweelo10 @ 11/19/2007 2:29 PM EST
 Madaxeey, I don't think you got the true meaning of the word liberal. Another thing, I didn't condemn or condone this article as free thinking person. If I speak from my heart, I have no problem with gays, cause they didn't harm me or anyone I know, but I have a problem narrow minded straight man like you and the ki'llers of innocent Somalis for unholy causes.
 
Not like you muqaawama apologizer, it is in humane what happen to the civilians in Mogadishu, but you know who had used them as a shield, no one else than the anarchists who hide behind them. If shame is ki'ling anyone, it would be the ones who perpetuate the massacre of innocents and call that a liberation fight. They even brought mayhem where the civilians had fled and killed the hand that was feeding them in the outskirts of Mogadishu, like Marxuumad Madiino General. Shame on you and your ter'ror squad muqaawama.
madaxeey @ 11/19/2007 1:25 PM EST
 Arraweelo I don’t think you understand what it means to be Liberal or conservative in the west. Just because HOL put this gay issue on their site doesn’t mean they are social liberal. Talk about human right when there are innocent civilians being slaughtered cause of their clan and religion. That is a human right violation. When children and women are being killed because they are against the Ethiopian occupiers.  That is human rights violations. The demonstration that this people are doing is freedom of speech. Arraweelo don’t dwell on 1990th get over that. Being an advocate for gays doesn’t make you a liberal or conservative. If you have heart you should feel the pain of those Somalis wherever they are in Somalia not some gay men or women who is bar hopping in the west. Shame on you arraweelo.
Arraweelo10 @ 11/19/2007 11:26 AM EST
 I am surprised that HOL had taken the risk of being so “LIBERAL”. This subject concurrently touches freedom of speech and human right’s issue. HOL had challenged the Somali community’s psyche and you can see the over pouring negative reaction in this forum.
somalijaceeyl @ 11/19/2007 10:28 AM EST
 What a disgusting article. Hiraan online has stained its name recognition by posting this unhealthy and disgusting article.
Is the Adminsitrator of Hiraan Online a MEMEBR OF THIS GROUP? Maybe that is why it is on the headlines.
Khaniisyo were numerous in Merka, Barava, Kismayo and Hamar Weyne, but were more like in 10 to 20 in thier numbers inthe nation of Somalia.
This should be removed IMMEDIATELY unless your editor is a member of this "HELLISH GROUP"
NACALAD BAA KU DHACDAY QOOMU LUUDH.marka iska ilooba waxan foosha xun inaad soo qortaan.
SHAME ON HIRAAN ONLINE and ITS EDITORS and MANAGEMENT

please remove ti as soon as you come to your sense

 shame on HOL and those claiming that they are gays. i wonder what hiiraan online will bring next. this realy upset me and most of somali community. hiiraan must be ashamed to report things like this. i gues me and peoople like have to start looking for another website to depend on for healthy news.
maslax25 @ 11/19/2007 3:23 AM EST
 I thought Hiiraan is good website,
which represents Somali people and  respects the culture, religion and even the viewers,you shouldn't do that,  
because we are all responsible for passing selected information through out the community,
not to post what every bad person said on the streets.
Please Please Please we demand to remove this article responsibly.
Thank you.    
Nuurbiid @ 11/19/2007 2:26 AM EST
 I don't understand their(HOL) intentions to post this add! if, most fo their readers do not want to see/read this gay advertisement what is the purpose of putting it up? Today's media does indeed respect their customers/readers/veiwers in order to fulfill demand of their business, but HOL is NOT. look like they care who majority of their readers. Are they targetting cultures that accept gays? well, then that is NOT a Somali culture.

PS: HOL please, respect your readers, publish what they will see beneficial to theri life and values. If you continue this style, then most of your readers will see this as an attack to their culture/religion and will not only discontinue what you publish, but they will rebel.

 This freedom of information, and HOL has very right to post any news fit to inform the inquiry mind. It’s you right not to view it, but to demand to take it off is bit exaggerating. You must except the most controversial themes require the reader to digest and dissect the information regardless how useless it might be, given this group existence is a sin, it doesn’t mean you share the sin. Just the other day an execution of two innocent Somali (singer & composer) took place in Mogadishu, and it didn’t receive much attention or response in condoning the killers.  But a gay Somali website reported by HOL is unanimously commented by everyone. We accept killers in our society, but gays? Haram is haram, no choosing please.
Dr Ali @ 11/19/2007 12:27 AM EST
 HOL has proven to all Somali readers who they are. They degraded Somali name by publishing this filthy stuff. Allah knows when I saw the title I was nauseted and wanted to vomit. May Allah give you what you deserve. ICU and Alshabaab will deal well any Somali sicko who venture to this sicko path. Mark my word they will never set foot in Somalia. We will hunted them down across western allies. Mark my word
WaraF @ 11/18/2007 10:37 PM EST
 Facts

ARE WE GOOD PEOPLE AS SOMALIS..









 
adani22 @ 11/18/2007 9:51 PM EST
 This is a very sensitive issue and I think that Somali youth should not be exposed to this, in the mist of war and killing we should not be concerned with gay issue and gay advertisement. I believe that this is pure advertisement and that it does not spark debate.  I am a proud Hiiraan member and will always be proud to be among Hiiraan site community. As a Muslim I urge you to take this out. Anyone can go to this site you are putting our children, religion and culture at risk. Please think what you are doing is endangering our Islamic fabric of life. I don’t care about their site but it being marketed by hiiraan hurts my stomach.
I strongly urge people not to go to the site and to have a petition that this site is taken out of Hiiraan.

 Hallo Every ONe
Well, well, well.....................

Hiiraan is leading the way, it is doing something revolutionary, something that no other independent Somali website would have ever done and dared. This is a true class and a real professionalism. Without having their opinion about this subject matter, they have have allowed it to be published on their website. And that caries a clear message, one that does not need my explanation.

I personally think, those of you who are treating to abandon this website, should do so, and with immediate departure. Because this website is for the liberals those who understand and value freedom of speech and human rights. We cannot be dictated by doctrines. The world we are in has moved on and made tremendous changes and Somalia was falling behind enormously until the sun-shined from Hiiraan.There is hope and I see the light at the end of the tunnel!!!

A BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO HIIRAAN EDITORS. WELL DONE GUYS!!!!!!

Please removce this article.

We are Muslim people, hiiraan is a Muslim province(state)
in Somalia, it does not need to pubish these kinds of
disgusting articles which does not concern us.

Let those somalis who choose to be like others in
the west do so in America or Europe.

WE do not welcome them in Somalia.

Somalia = 100% Islam.  End of Conversation.

P.S. Reer Hiiraan.com magaca ha iska dilin, ee

 Salam to everyone.

I feel overwhelmed with happiness that a well stablished website such as Hiiraan would publish news about, those of us who don't know where to turn to in life.
I feel happy that for once this issue is not brushed under the carpet.
I am somali, I am gay, and I do exist. I care for islam as much as the next somali that sits in a "mafrish" chewing 7 days a week, fantacising about sleeping with a 'blond' or the 'hijaab' wearing neighbour. Whilst being "muslim" is just a name tag to be used when necesary.

Ilaahey aa nabad kabariya. Not you. Salaam claykum.

of religion & cultural values of Somali community everywhere.

 I just spoke to one of the most respected sheikhs in London. He said, whoever put such information has commited a big sin and should ask forgivness from Allah. Please remove ASAP. If not removed, i will never ever visit HOL again. Never again.

nomadic1 @ 11/18/2007 3:41 PM EST
 This is disgusting, unislamic and also unsomali. Shame on you HIIRAAN online. We dont need such a sick advert and a promotion of qowma luudh. There is plenty of good news to cover in our country at the moment. Dont just go with the flow. Whoever reads and follows that link with bad intentions, whoever put them online will share with their sins.

 Hiiraan Online waa dambi wayn inaad ku soo bandhigtaan
wax khaldan oo ah dambi wayn oo alle qoom dhan ku rogay
una ballan qaaday qofkii la yimaada ciqaab aan la ciqaabi doonin dadka kale
waxaadna ogaataan qofkasta oo booqda website-ka aad meesha ku soo xayaysiiseen
dambigiisa inaad bar leedihiin,so allah u toobad keena,dadkana raaligalin siiya walibana
ku soo qora cambaarayn qolada website-kaas furatay
oo aan u malaynayo inay yihioin gaalo rabta inay Soomaalida wax u dhimaan

 I am sure these are not the first of their kind but making a publication for them is an insult to the somali culture and unheard of. Being a gay is not even easy in America, the so called, most democratic country in the world, the system might protect them but they are under constant harassment everyday of their life. Now think about being a gay in somalia.

 To Hiran online staff,

I Demand that this article removed immediatley,this is
a disgrace and it is cheap advertisment for this decadent
group.
This amounts to spreading FAAXISHA amongst Muslims.
