Jordan: The LGBT Magazine for the Middle East

Africa and the Middle East

Broadcast – 30 August 2016

For a show that prides itself on finding interesting LGBTIQ stories from across the globe, we often find it quite difficult to find voices willing to speak up about LGBTIQ life in the Middle East. But one man has been quietly working to change that from his base in Jordan.

• Despite running for 9 years, what change recently caused a media storm and put the spotlight on this LGBT magazine?
• Was there an upside to all this publicity?
• Could Jordan lead the way on LGBTIQ rights across the Middle East and North Africa?

To turn the temperature up on LGBTIQ rights in the Middle East, we speak with Khalid Abdel-Hadi, founder and editor of My Kali magazine – one of the first LGBT magazines in the Middle East.
