Elias Jahshan has been working for many years to give queer Arabs a voice. He has collected eighteen stories from queer Arabs in his new book, This Arab is Queer. The current war between Israel and Palestine has collided with Eurovision, leaving some to call for a boycott of Israel. Jahshan gives his perspective on this.
