Beschreibung
A gripping memoir of one religious man's journey navigating a secret identity in a country where homosexuality is punishable by death.
Born to devout Muslim parents in Iran, Majid must navigate his sexuality in a nation where being gay is considered a mental illness and punishable by death. Amid the turmoil of the Iran-Iraq war, Majid's life is steeped in Shia Islam, yet he harbours feelings for other boys. Facing bullying and betrayal, he leads a double life, grappling with the conflict between his beliefs and identity. A brief relationship with a woman ends traumatically, pushing him further into his façade. Meeting Kian, his first love, leads to self-acceptance and immersion in Tehran's flamboyant gay scene. However, the execution of his friend, Farid, by the morality police forces Majid to abandon his homeland. In London, he rebuilds his life as an atheist gay man and a specialist doctor, never revealing his true self to his family in Iran.
Majid's story is one of resilience, courage, and, above all, one of pride.
