Lovely and I have been together for over a year and a half now. Our lives are great, ma sha Allah. We have our own place, we have our friends that we are out to, we have family support – hers more supporting than mine, oddly enough (probably the baptism of fire thing). We’re both working and making some money, we’re both saving and buidling our lives. We have a tv where we watch the horrible news of our lives; we have warm blankets to sleep under; we have a housemate who adores us and whom we adore. Her family sends over food regularly, since they nearby. Life is good, alhamdu lillah. So we’re starting to organize around queer issus. Right now, we’ve set up a semi monthly meeting of queer folk. We had our first one last week and it went oddly, but well, I think. The next one is middle of next week. It’s scary. You don’t know who all the people are and you don’t know who to trust. And they don’t know if they can trust you. That’s probably our greatest asset, in the end – mutual distrust. I don’t know what we’re building, but we’re building.
—- Mera Terrha Pakistan is one of the most heart-warming blogs on Queer relationships that I have come across. The owner is a Pakistani woman who is bisexual and it is a honest depiction of how her choices affect her and those around her. She hopes (in her words) to “create a safe-ish space where other queer Pakistani woman can vent.”
Here’s wishing her endeavour much luck and kind, helpful minds.
