"There is a big scandal in a Jordanian magazine today. The magazine's publishers pulled the new issue off the shelves when they saw an article about LGBT issues, and one that talks directly about women's sexuality.We are outraged and would like to have the "offensive" articles published on blogs, anywhere where people can have access to this information..."
To me, this isn't about this particular magazine or about Gay and Lesbian rights, it's about respecting people's right to know, and people's right to decide for themselves. When will the custody over our minds end?? It's very naive to think that you can completely block certain issues from being exposed and pull a blanket over our eyes!
According to Hala,
The magazine is currently at work redoing the magazine to republish it without these articles, that have been deemed 'offensive' by a closeminded and dictator-like faction, which has in turn forced the publishers to react in this way.
Anyone who has access to the original version of the magazine should get these articles out through the blogosphere. Let's not be afraid of exposing the issues that have long lived beneath the surface.
