LGBTQIA+ Icon Arsham Parsi (LGBTQ+ activist)
“I am very, very optimistic because I believe in people power. We have an expression in Farsi that you can do whatever you want if you just decide to. I have decided to bring change to Iran and decriminalize homosexuality. It will happen because homosexual rights, queer writes, are human rights and I’ll get my rights back. Rights are never given: we have to fight for them. And I am fighting.”
June is Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, and Asexual (LGBTQIA+) month. This month is a time of celebration, but also recognition of those who have participated in the journey toward equality, justice, and the freedom to love without fear. Each day of this month we will be spotlighting one of the people who has taken a stand in the struggle toward inclusion and acceptance for all.
