Maziar Lorestani’s Complaint About What He Called Bitter Words and Cultural Poverty
Iranian actor Maziar Lorestani, by sharing a picture of himself on Instagram, complained about what he described as bitter words and cultural poverty.
He, who revealed his true gender identity nearly a year ago, wrote that the world is a nice place where no one asks you who you are.
Sexual and gender minorities in Iran face pressure not only from society and the government but also from their families.
Many of them are either rejected by their families or, in some cases, subjected to severe physical violence leading to death.
