Like many parts of the world, the life for a lesbian or gay person living in Iran can be incredibly dangerous -- oftentimes even horrific.
In an effort to artistically contextualize the life of a queer person in Iran, a group of LGBT Iranians have put together a visual poem, titled "I," and written by JD Kamran. Produced by the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGLHRC), "I" is a beautiful and touching attempt to communicate the pain and resilience of LGBT individuals and their families living in Iran.
