Illustrations from the queer anthology, Hopes and Dreams That Sound Like Yours A new anthology titled Hopes and Dreams That Sound Like Yours: Stories of Queer Activism in Sub-Saharan Africa has been released for download – and it’s free! Published by Taboom Media and GALA Queer Archive, the book was launched on 17 May, the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism, and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT).
In Hopes and Dreams, 20 human rights defenders from Sub-Saharan Africa share their activist journeys and reveal what inspires their fight for LGBTIQ equality.
Some are deeply personal stories of self-discovery and acceptance. Others chart the challenges LGBTIQ rights groups face in discriminatory environments.
