“Tricked out in drag or the tight, modish attire of Western urban youth, dozens of gay Palestinian runaways eke out a dangerous living on Israel’s streets.

the lgbt folks who are organizing in palestine (and there are such folks!) cite the occupation as their biggest barrier. while the occupation is in effect, survival, not social change, is the only thing on the palestinian agenda. look for the upcoming moive “zero degrees of separation” by ellen flanders.
