Over at Global Voices, Onnik Krikorian has a lot to say about the wealth of LGBT Armenian blogs:
…the number of LGBT blogs from Armenia and the Diaspora has mushroomed. In part, this is probably because of the important precedent set by Unzipped: Gay Armenia. The blogger from Armenia now resident in England truly did cover sensitive issues such as gender, homosexuality and homophobia in what still remains a largely male-dominated patriarchal society with little regard for sexual minorities or women’s rights.
Read the whole amazing article with tons of facts and quotes here.
Here is a list of all the LGBT Armenian blogs mentioned in the article:
- Unzipped: Gay Armenia (the pioneer)
- An Armenian Lesbian Blog
- The Thoughts of a Californian Garmo in Europe
- Queering Yerevan
- AGLA NY (hey, that’s us!)
- Hye Trent
- PINK Armenia (which is the only one actually based in Armenia)
This is fantastic!!! Hope Armenia opens up faster to reality. Would love to feature LGBT stories on my site http://www.armenianwomen.org
