Some heartwarming news to end the week - Talah and Bayan, a #lesbian couple from Saudi Arabia, have just moved into one of our safe houses for #LGBTQI people fleeing persecution. Same-sex sexual activity is illegal in Saudi Arabia, and LGBTQI people are subject to arrest, and those arrested are at risk of execution from Saudi authorities.
Bayan and Talah were not safe in Saudi Arabia, but now in the UK, they can start to live more openly as a couple. They can also attend Micro Rainbow events and activities, and find new networks of friendship and support in the UK.
Make Bayan and Talah feel more welcome - send them something from our Amazon wishlist! https://lnkd.in/gk3QSSF
