Have you met a gay Somali?

He's a filmmaker and author, but I can't find his picture. Very weird.

Possibly a pseudonym

This is the figure that is reported in many journals and articles

And it's long been reported as a myth. I would assume that 2% of the general population is homosexual.

In the Somali community, the figure is probably much less than 2%.

Speaking of statistics, I read this article today and was shocked.

Now straight women aren't even safe from other straight women. Waa yaab.

It's around 10%.

I know at least 6-7 open Somali gays myself Kaafiye. All from just West Ottawa.

Imagine the ones who are closeted. And the ones that I've missed.

There's possibly 750 gay Somali guys in Ottawa out of our 10,000 population.

Kaafyie is right. 10% is too high a number. The real number is more likely to be 2-3%. But it's hard to know cos most Somali gays are in the closet.

Which nation has a 10% gay population?

Gulf nations are possibly over 80%

Most gays hide their orientation.

You really think only 2 out of 100 people are gay/bisexual?

There was this guy who killed himself, he was half Oromo and had a Somali mother. He went to school with my friend and I would see him around, the guy was pretty religious. He came out to his mom and she was devastated. He burned himself in his car.


There's also 2 guys I know but they're not fully out.


I know bunch of lesbians, they regularly go to gay clubs and most of them have double lives@Duchess you know who I'm talking about right lol

Study: The prevalence of homosexual behavior and attraction in the United States, the United Kingdom and France: results of national population-based samples.

Researchers determining the prevalence of homosexuality in nationally representative samples have focused upon determining the prevalence of homosexual behavior, ignoring those individuals whose sexual attraction to the same sex had not resulted in sexual behavior. We examine the use of sexual attraction as well as sexual behavior to estimate the prevalence of homosexuality in the United States, the United Kingdom, and France using the Project HOPE International Survey of AIDS-Risk Behaviors. We find that 8.7, 7.9, and 8.5% of males and 11.1, 8.6, and 11.7% of females in the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, respectively, report some homosexual attraction but no homosexual behavior since age 15. Further, considering homosexual behavior and homosexual attraction as different but overlapping dimensions of homosexuality, we find 20.8, 16.3, and 18.5% of males, and 17.8, 18.6, and 18.5% of females in the United States, the United Kingdom, and France report either homosexual behavior or homosexual attraction since age 15. Examination of homosexual behavior separately finds that 6.2, 4.5, and 10.7% of males and 3.6, 2.1, and 3.3% of females in the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, respectively, report having had sexual contact with someone of the same sex in the previous 5 years. Our findings highlight the importance of using more than just homosexual behavior to examine the prevalence of homosexuality.

If only they knew. She's semi-famous.

 

[Sultana]

If it's who I think...

Loooooool


If her hooyo found out she would send her to Somalia. Loooooooooooool

Now @menace is gonna claim every semi-famous Somali female is an undercover lesbian

I would say who it is if she was out to her fam, but she's not.

You think speaking to her will change the fact that she likes other women?

 

[Tokio]

if speaking doesn't work, timaheedi rif ban ku idhi bastarada.

I read a Psychology report long time ago which stated that in most cases homosexual tendencies and inklings in men develope due to a lack of father figure in their life. So that thirst for the same sex is just a psychological substitution an actual need for parental (male) affection.

So considering my estimate rate of absentee fathers in the somali community in the west, its safe to say there are numerous knaniis faraxs running around both inside the closet and outside the closet. @bored

She'd probably enjoy that though...
