Activist and singer HUNTER BLUE is from TANZANIA, which is one of the 76 countries in the world where homosexuality is still illegal. His way of dealing with discrimination is through dance and song and this rather wonderful new music video of his ….SO GAY ….is very much a rallying cry for activism in and outside the LGBT+ community.

The video features various styles of dance, which Blue uses to articulate his experiences of discrimination and he hopes it will empower people to love and accept themselves . He knows this is no easy task as homophobia is rife in his corner of Africa, and earlier this year the country launched yet another crackdown, with LGBT campaigners facing arrest or expulsion. As part of this crackdown, 12 were arrested in Blue’s hometown, Dar es Salaam, for violating the country’s anti-homosexual laws.

“How can it be possible, in our time, that loving someone of the same gender can end your life and or imprison, stone, beat or burn you?”
