Tunisia is not known at all for its progressive LGBTI rights agenda. In fact, they still retain and enforce age-old ‘sodomy’ laws, jailing LGBTI people for sexual relations. Enter a white knight – an openly gay human rights lawyer sticking his neck out and running for President of Tunisia. But is he a white knight? Some in the LGBTI community don’t think so and, in fact, are openly campaigning against him.
Here we speak to both sides of the story:
- Mounir Baatour – the first openly gay Tunisian Presidential candidate
- And a representative Mawjoudine Tunisia – one of the LGBTI groups driving a petition against Mounir.
And what Mounir thinks of these LGBTI groups campaigning against him, left us almost speechless!
