I'm iranian but I don't feel that I belong to the iranian society. I'm not black nor openly queer but I went through hell just because of the tiniest differences I had with the people around me. This is far beyond the government and their political ideology; it's the story of a failing nation. I don't really intend to generalize all iranians in a negative way but truth to be told, many people would very intentionally traumatize you with no mercy. And trust me, it's a lot. Iranian society also traumatized me. I'm personally feeling so disconnected from my society and I can see many others like me that feel the same.
The same thing happened in UK too they racist and don't like black people but BBC won't document that but they will document Iran to bring problem in your country please be careful of western government and their media

It's because of one thing: fascist Islamic government in Iran. When you have powerful religious extremists running the government, this sort of prejudice happens to the queers (in general) in your country.
Gay or not gay, it's true. In Iran, Afghanistan, most of Asian countries is the same. People interfere, judge you, and tell you what to do. I agree with this girl.
Wow now this is different I always knew of Afro-Persians from southern Iran and Afro-Shi’i people I once being an AfroAmerican Shi’a who was first Sunnite and originally born a Baptist Christian,so I enjoy syncretic cultural expressions,but Queer and Afro-Iranian this is a treat to watch.🙏🏾😎🇺🇸☪️👁️

Such a well-needed insight into the issue, ignore the inevitable whataboutism in the comments that just tries to undermine the message without offering anything helpful
Yes- misogyny, censorship, shaming, racism & ignorance is rife in the UK AND Iran... I had an argument with my sexist misogynistic & z .10n1st brother earlier this year where he threw me from a car- we were arguing about Islam being inherently sexist & whether or not Arab men were violent & controlling... his attempt to convince me I was wrong to defend 🍉 was to do that. YOU might be on completely different sides in your head, & you might behave completely differently in your mind, but your argument here is exactly the same as his. ALL MEN GLOBALLY NEED TO LOOK AT THEMSELVES.
@@punkybrewstar83 While I understand your frustration, it's important to remember that not all men are the same, just as it's not fair when people make sweeping generalizations about women or any group. Best way forward is to avoid putting everyone into one box.
Thanks for sharing, BBC. It's an excellent coverage of the discrimination by the Iranian regime. Being aware of reality is, for everybody of us, the first step to change it. 🙂
"Propaganda", @@olklk? Abuses by the Iranian dictatorship have been widely reported. Since when telling about facts is "propaganda"? On the other hand, the situation in the UK has nothing to do with the one in Iran. How can you dare to compare? _The UK is a democratic country. There, discrimination because of ethnicity and gender identity is prosecuted by law. _Iran is a country ruled by a totalitarian regime. There, it's exactly the opposite: discrimination because of gender, religion, ideology, ethnicity... is implemented by the regime. And the opposition to those rules is severely repressed and punished. Of course, no place in the world is totally free of discrimination, but... is the situation in the UK comparable to the one in Iran? Of course not, it isn't at all.
Thank you for shedding light on such an important issues. Hopefully this will inspire much-needed conversations about equality, justice, and acceptance in our society. We have a long way to go, even after the regime change in Iran.
@@annahollander111 No, they're saying there's a lot of change needing to be made in the country even after the dictatorship collapses. The political side isn't the only problem.
Honestly, this report seems to try hard to generalise the experience and perception of 2 individuals to a whole society and shift the blame from government-imposed discriminations solely to the people and society… nice journalism, BBCW!! Not at all in line with the Islamic Regime’s talking points and justifications…!! I’m wondering if Javad Zarif wrote, directed, and produced this report…!! For non-Iranian people who don’t know much about Iranian population demographics and society, I should say that we have Black Iranians for thousands of years, especially in the south, fully part of the society and not a separated or isolated group… Also, the queer society has been generally accepted by the majority of the society for more than the age of this lovely young individual, especially in big cities… yet I admit that in smaller towns and villages or pro-regime neighbourhoods , they still have massive challenges and are not being accepted, but that is generally due to the Islamic regime’s systematic discriminatory propaganda and policies
@@joelgoldsmith4747 Persia was an exonym, while Iran and its variants, Iranshahr, Eranshar, Aryashahr, Aryana, have been the endonyms since the Avestan Era, which spanned millennia before the Achaemenid Empire (the first Persian Empire). In Iran, Persia has been a name for a province, principality, and satrapy in northern parts of the Persian Gulf. This is the area where Cyrus the Great is coming from, thus the exonym Persia. If you go to Naghsh-e-Jahan near Persepolis, you’ll see Darius the Great referring to himself, the country, and Iranian people as such, Iranians. And yes, we’ve got black peoples, especially in the south, some native and some migrated there over the span of many centuries or millennia and thus fully Iranian.
Priscillia is just such a visionary it’s incredible. The way she can put language on emotions, the empathy she carries for others and echoing their stories from the margins. She’s a trailblazer, I can’t even imagine all the ceilings and barriers she’s had to break through to start conversations like these on such a mass scale. I’m so grateful she gave this interview. I hope there’s more!! I’ll definitely be keeping up to date with the collectiveforblackiranians in the meantime 🥹💫💫
There are a lot of people in every society that simply do not want to understand queer people, but on the other hand, there are also many people that want to understand queer people, so a good idea seems to be ,spend more time with people whom like to understand you and less time with others, There is no reason to try to have some sort of hope to make a global change towards queer people, as these things take a lot of time and are not achievable in a one lifetime span, Live your life at the fullest ,good luck
To say it isn't achievable in one life time is pretty much not true. There has been plenty of countries who achieved it in one life time. Even the largest country being America achieved it in an activist life time. Of course there would need to be a societal structure for that. Which that takes long but besides taht it cam be done
Are you seriously suggesting that there haven't been bad reports of discrimination & other things, about SA? 😂😂 You have got to be joking... Next you're gonna say they never speak badly of Isrl. Lol
I find it interesting and important to point out that in ancient Persia (more pagan - Zoroastrian; more in tune in living with nature and people being part of the natural ecosystem), the diversity of folks was celebrated and the norm (race - vast across the many regions; gender - ie. Ancient Persian poets were all for the majority Queer and celebrated, etc.), but it wasn’t until colonialism and imperialism by the White western countries and patriarchal Muslim and Christianity religion dominated countries that Iranian culture became more bigoted towards these communities and marginalized them.
No even under islam many persianised and Persian poets were still queer.. like rumi and his alleged male lover they wrote poems about each other openly
@@introtwerpit depends on the government. If the government is more literal Islamic, then there's more discrimination, if less literal/more secular and liberal Islam then there is less discrimination
@@sarakunb621 during the shah’s so-called liberal regime there was still a lot of racism and homophobia. More white appearing Iranian people were revealed.
zoroastrianism is a monotheistic religion which at the time of its formation buried all pagan practices and its text is also riddled with misogyny and homophobia
Nobody can boast treating blacks with equally and respectfully. Most of us are where we are, in diaspora, because for whatever reason, we were trafficked. Unfortunately, it's more a product of the colonial age we live in than the people who themselves are suffering under it too. Edited to add: The "antiblackness" she suffered is a nearly universal experience for us. It just is what it is. Edited one more time to add: The "antiblackness" in Iran sounds pale in comparison to what I've suffered myself in the US. I doubt anybody would contest this with a straight face.
It’s not a competition - discrimination is discrimination. The context and landscape matters but the video shows how even half way across the world, LGBTQ and black peoples are discriminated against. Also some people think they don’t exist in Middle East but they do
Freedom is essential. The problem is where and when you feel the desire to break loose and those who may want to help you when you want to breakloose and who you want to see you breaking loose when you are ready. In the case of the Black Iranian lady, it's hard to connect the dots for her considering many African Nations with Muslim majority like Somalia, North Sudan, Mali, Niger, Mauritania, Egypt, Chad (to mention but a few) and others as well have countries like Iran, Iraq, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and others with diplomatic presence in them. Don't they preach love and respect for all their citizens in their mosques? It's disturbing. We all breathe the same air, drink the same water, eat the same food and in the end go less than 2 meters beaneath. Causing citizens unnecessary pain. Very disturbing.
I’m a queer Jew born and raised in Iran and while I also experienced some of these because of the government, I can’t help but notice that this British propaganda wants to frame Iranian society as the cause when in reality is it’s just the government that’s being supported by UK to this day. The British want to lecture us about racism now too LOL They want to put the blame on our society and culture to discourage the world from the prospects of a free Iran after Islamic Republic because based on this British agenda, we are not worthy of freedom as “we’re so backward”
That must been really hard living in Iran as a Jewish person... I agree the reason Iranian have their issues is because of the islamic regime, and everyone know how bad they are. but how can we deny two people honest and heartbreaking stories like you did in the comment? it is not fair. I want freedom for Iran but It lying if we ignore that we DO have racist, and homophobic people in our society, EVEN in the community of people who DESPERATELY want free iran people silence eachother and judge eachother. we need to fix culture that got poisoned and free iran to all be happy.
@@hamegibaham-m1s Ofcourse we do, but just like any other society. If anything Iran was way ahead of her game before the revolution comparing to many countries in our region and the world. That’s both on queer issues and Jewish emancipation. But ofcourse we are struggling in the past 4 decades because of the kind of regime that BBC actively propagated for. And now in such momentous days, the same media tries to target Iranian society. They could’ve made the same documentary just talking about Iran in general, but notice they are specifically attacking Iranian Society. We were born yesterday if we had forgotten the kind of British propaganda that has tried to antagonise our culture against ourselves to keep us behind. I’m not denying the stories (after all I’m gay and from a marginalized minority) all I’m saying is the frame that is built in this documentary by BBC is targeting Iranian Society and wants to portray to the western audience that women life freedom doesn’t mean Iranians are actually progressive enough to deserve a better future and that their culture is so backwards that would prevent them from a better future. If every German had to wait for racism to end in German society and every American had to wait for civil rights to start in every American family on a cultural level, actual political change would’ve never taken place. I truly believe the UK wants us to waste our time on cultural sectarianism and controversies instead of truly targeting the root of the problem which is the Islamic Republic who has been perpetuated by UK and other European and American liberal allies.
@@Hermesborugerdian I do agree with you, we were very advance thinking before the regime. but the same people who advocatted for regime 48 years ago i doubt they are the young women in the video who did he interview so its not a fair comparison . i agree timing is everything, but a two weeks ago the world dont know what would happen the last two daysand every society has racism and homophobic people like you said, but news changfes quickly.. but also we have to remember how dangerous it is for iranian people to talk about regime. maybe they scared we dont know them, many people talk about regime, there are many documentary that reveal the illegal things the IR did to iranian woman. bbc can't stop the iran revolution or woman life freedom movement from happening, and neither can two people who talk about their upsetting personal life story so dont be worry. I think political change has to happen but culture HAS to change at same time and to keep up with it too. thats point of woman life freedom, its for EVERYONE in iran.
@@hamegibaham-m1s Nobody’s blaming the people featured in the documentary for anything letting alone for the Islamic revolution 😂 like i said they could’ve made the same documentary with the same exact people in it but with less emphasis on “Iranian society”. The usage of that word as opposed to just saying “Iran” is no accident. All I’m pointing out is simply the BBC agenda, that’s all. This media was single-handedly in charge of the revolutionary propaganda of 79 not according to me but according to Khomeyni himself. And ofcourse they have the power to sabotage our current movement by the same virtue. I mean look at how they minimised an abolitionist movement that came so close to toppling Islamic Republic and it’s gender apartheid in 2022 to a social movement thats stuck in this dichotomy of either soft reform on looser hejab or these idealistic goals that must turn Iran to the most “woke” society ever. Well we know that’s a recipe to keeping IR in power. Putting us between the choice of practical soft reform and this queer utopia that has to be more progressive that even the west (basically an impossibility). Well ofcourse we’re far from being a gay utopia so we’ll end up with the kinda reform the British want us to do for them so they can live in peace with Islamic Republic. What they did to our anti-IR movement of Woman Life Freedom is completely consistent with the kinda agenda pushed by this documentary as well; emboldening the idea that “Iranians need Socio-Cultural change as opposed to first and formost freeing themselves from IR’s institutional oppression”. They want the average westerners to look at us as these problematic racist and backward people all because 99% of us never met a black person in Iran. These are just differing nuances in each society that here is being portrayed as “Iranian racism” to the western audience, whose view on Iran will predict western foreign policy about Iran and the prospective abolishment of Islamic Republic.
@@HermesborugerdianYou know what, I don't agree with you. and that's okay. that is beauty of democracy. I just hope and pray that the day we reach freedom everyone's voice is treated equally, no one is outsider. no one gets treated differently for their politics, religion, sexuality, where they come from, what they look like. because unfortunately in diaspora, it is very toxic, even at our protests we fight fabout our different politics even though we want one same goal to get rid of IR. each society should take responsibility to make videos telling about its issue in culture but dont deny these women of the braveness it took to speak up.
I’ve never met an Iranian I didn’t like or respect. So this is not an Iranian issue, but rather an Iranian government issue. They hate their own people. Why? Iranians are good, friendly, respectful, and smart. It’s a shame that the government has destroyed the country. It’s really sad
In iran people judge every one the base of look ,i gt white skin round face with small eyes and its some thing like tabu nt the base of beauty standards of iranian society that why im nt feel connected to iranian nationality any more ...
@@abhinav.mishra17 it has been the reality for decades. US and UK are drumming up anti-Iran support in their countries to pacify their public that arming Israel is justified
Not to mention their long-practiced gendercide. When I lived in Tehran in the early 1970s our housekeeper openly described the practice, and her participation in it, as a fact of practical economics.
a bit (or maybe very) misleading as the black woman is only half iranian and half congolese, hence cant really speak for the indigenous black community we have in the south of the country...
I personally think her ethnic make up doesn't matter as much as her experience. she was brought up in Iran, is half Iranian and was judged for the colour of her skin
@@trial-m4j maybe she wasnt fluent in farsi?! it is completely misleading... what she is telling (and its clear from her other work that she is exaggerating because it sells better...) has no value about life of black iranians.
I think the the video is showing despite coming from different backgrounds, the way they feel echos eachother. i think thats why they put two contrasting stories together. raw human emotion is the same, making us more like eachother than we think. but saying that i do think the video couldve benefitted from being much longer.
I don't understand, Ukraine under occupation is unacceptable. From the first day. Palestine under occupation is acceptable for 76 years. Double standard by the US and Europe governments.
??? Maybe you made a comment on the wrong video. To ask your question: "palestina" is under occupation by arabs. Israelis are there on their homeland. Just like ukrainians. As the Kiyivian' Rus was already a power and dominated the area when Moscow was a barn with some animals. You're welcome.
@@Beiransvoice I commented within the first minute of watching is the black girl queer to? then it makes sense otherwise i thought only the other girl was queer.
The reason why they group it like in usa and 3rd world is because most homosexual people want black 🍆 . The global population is majority LGBT or closeted
They’re echoing words and phrases of west left. They’ve been absorbed. They lacked the individuality they claim they left Iran to express. They didn’t talk like normal people.
People from the lgbt group are found everywhere. Even in places that dont accept their lifestyle. Even in Africa where it isnt acceptable, they are there. I say this because, its not an American ideology as you said. The ACTUAL Western ideology on this topic is the trans agenda in particular. It has scared many nations because it has descended to madness if im to be honest. The fear comes from living in a society where you are forced to play into something that isnt real, for the sake of someone who simply needs help. Alternatively, if you look at Asia, theres a big acceptance for the trans agenda because they dont force others into the whole pronoun thing, and ladyboys for example havent deluded to actually believing they are real women. Many jeep thier man parts in tact and vice versa. But in the West, im sorry it has becime insanity. Many queers are also against the trans agenda. What it has done to American children, terrifies the world. Its that simple. But most places (except islamic nations) dont have an issue with gay/bi people, its a fear of their nations turning into what America has become. We want our spaces, and sports separate for men and women etc... we want these decisions to transition/hormones to be done for people over the age of 18, who have a sound mind to make such a major decision. But the west insists on doing it to children who dont even know that santa is fake. And they actually lie to these people that you can become something you're not. Thats where the issue lies. Hence the major refusal for that in particular. But even in Africa, simply being gay, lesbian or bi isnt a big deal. Its the trans agenda in particular which we dont want to see here.
Equity on this documentary would have been giving both women equal time. You did not give the Black woman's story enough time. Another glaring example of undervaluing the Black experience.
Ok so bc I'm psycho, I decided to actually measure it: Black lady: 0:00-0:05 (5 sec.) 1:55-3:15 (80 s) 4:48-6:05 (77 s) 6:38-7:45 (67 s) 10:05-10:45 (40 s) Total: *269 sec.* Queer lady: 0:05-0:10 (5 sec.) 0:33-1:55 (82 s) 3:15-4:48 (93 s) 6:05-6:38 (33 s) 7:45-8:18 (33 s) 9:40-10:05 (25 s) 10:45-10:58 (13 s) Total: *284 sec.* The difference is just of *15 seconds* more... And the black lady spoke first & last.
our prophet SAW told us to hold onto rope of Quran and follow Allah's commands. It also says you have free will to follow good or bad which will be written in your book - most written book in the world is your book what you have done on earth. It will be presented to you on judgement day.
When you’re trying your hardest to drum up support from the communities that don’t support your barbarity. You find someone they identify with and make them sad
Great timing (sarcasm , irony injected ) ...build negativity against Iran ...showing everything bad about Iran. This is propaganda. No I don't think Iran is without problems but do really think the producers care about the average Iranian.
This is not propaganda. Black people have been talking about this decades before BBC said anything. The amount if racism that run rampid across the globe. Even in middle eastern countries. Where there has been clear cases of racism and apathy.
Why is it that you never see an aged "queer" or "trans" in the media? Is it because they never age?! or perhaps because they don't look too happy any more when they slightly get aged?
@@hopeintruth5119 you missed my point and raised a totally irrelevant other point. Pedophiles also exist, so what?! My point was about glorification of a lifestyle that perhaps isn't as glorious as the media purports.
@@karmaf2p431 No doubt a pedophile would also describe pedophilic lifestyle as glorious. The point is about normal people agree or disagree, which is exactly where the media misleads them by showing a tarnished image instead of even a slightly more accurate picture.
The black woman said she is Iranian but mispronounced words like Iran and Qajar etc. she culturally appropriated the culture and language under her black disguise. I have so many black Iranian friends and not one has been ostracized or made to feel less Iranian than anyone else. Iranians are way above how this is portrayed. If they feel a certain way it is because of the government not the people. The world doesn’t understand this.
That's whataboutism. Of course there are racists in UK. That's because UK is still capitalist state. The video is about discrimination against black and queer people in Iran. Also, UK is diverse in political thought. There are leftists in UK. Leftists in UK care about black and Muslims in UK it is just leftists are powerless right now.
And vice versa(which is even more common). The thing is, where is systematic oppression of minorities? That's definitely not the UK but you can lie to yourself if it warms your heart.
Isn’t that another lie, I heard in Islam it says first person enters in heaven would be Black, all the time Muslim people shows sympathy for the black people.
No, actually. There are many derogatory hadiths about blk ppl, one says they were made for hell. For a time after Mohammed's death, it was literally punishable by death to claim that he had been blk. Lol
What muslims are you referring to? the majority of muslims are Indonesians/ Indians/African and only 3% of muslims are Arabs. Yes Arabs are racist to the core and treat black people specially those who work for them as less then human, maids commit suicide in the middle east if they are not killed beforehand. Muslim is a faith that anyone can have but racism is embedded in Arab society and the irony is that most gulf Arabs have high percentage of African genes from Tanzania/Zanzibar.
A side of the Iranian regeime and Islamic republic and society that the middle class left never want to talk about. Because they seem to be more concerned with "American Imperialism" even though America has never has had an Empire.

"Propaganda", @@olklk? Abuses by the Iranian dictatorship have been widely reported. Since when telling about facts is "propaganda"?
On the other hand, the situation in the UK has nothing to do with the one in Iran. How can you dare to compare?
_The UK is a democratic country. There, discrimination because of ethnicity and gender identity is prosecuted by law.
_Iran is a country ruled by a totalitarian regime. There, it's exactly the opposite: discrimination because of gender, religion, ideology, ethnicity... is implemented by the regime. And the opposition to those rules is severely repressed and punished.
Of course, no place in the world is totally free of discrimination, but... is the situation in the UK comparable to the one in Iran? Of course not, it isn't at all.
Iran is the leader and embodies the vision of Islam.
Thank you for shedding light on such an important issues. Hopefully this will inspire much-needed conversations about equality, justice, and acceptance in our society. We have a long way to go, even after the regime change in Iran.
Oh it changed? I am unaware
@@annahollander111 No, they're saying there's a lot of change needing to be made in the country even after the dictatorship collapses. The political side isn't the only problem.
Great video 🔥
Honestly, this report seems to try hard to generalise the experience and perception of 2 individuals to a whole society and shift the blame from government-imposed discriminations solely to the people and society… nice journalism, BBCW!! Not at all in line with the Islamic Regime’s talking points and justifications…!! I’m wondering if Javad Zarif wrote, directed, and produced this report…!!
For non-Iranian people who don’t know much about Iranian population demographics and society, I should say that we have Black Iranians for thousands of years, especially in the south, fully part of the society and not a separated or isolated group…
Also, the queer society has been generally accepted by the majority of the society for more than the age of this lovely young individual, especially in big cities… yet I admit that in smaller towns and villages or pro-regime neighbourhoods , they still have massive challenges and are not being accepted, but that is generally due to the Islamic regime’s systematic discriminatory propaganda and policies
I didn't know Iran (Persia its antiquarian name) has been so diverse!
And blacks having been in the southern regions for thousands of years??😳
@@joelgoldsmith4747 Persia was an exonym, while Iran and its variants, Iranshahr, Eranshar, Aryashahr, Aryana, have been the endonyms since the Avestan Era, which spanned millennia before the Achaemenid Empire (the first Persian Empire). In Iran, Persia has been a name for a province, principality, and satrapy in northern parts of the Persian Gulf. This is the area where Cyrus the Great is coming from, thus the exonym Persia. If you go to Naghsh-e-Jahan near Persepolis, you’ll see Darius the Great referring to himself, the country, and Iranian people as such, Iranians. And yes, we’ve got black peoples, especially in the south, some native and some migrated there over the span of many centuries or millennia and thus fully Iranian.
@@farhadris as a queer Iranian I’m completely agree with you. BBC is doing all of this to keep IR in power.
@@joelgoldsmith4747they have a native population there if im not mistaken
Never thought it was that bad as an Iranian. Thanks for showcasing this!
We are still human ♥️🙏🏼
Seeing my faves on here ❤
This should have been two separate stories. I’m sick of black and LGBT being compared as if they’re one and the same!
😂😂😂😂
Priscillia is just such a visionary it’s incredible. The way she can put language on emotions, the empathy she carries for others and echoing their stories from the margins. She’s a trailblazer, I can’t even imagine all the ceilings and barriers she’s had to break through to start conversations like these on such a mass scale. I’m so grateful she gave this interview. I hope there’s more!! I’ll definitely be keeping up to date with the collectiveforblackiranians in the meantime 🥹💫💫
empathy yet to be understood by average bbc watcher return in 10 years and hope the current culture war is something else
This video is more than the truth ...esp the girl in blue jacket ... any single word she says is more than true ...iam iranian too ....
The BBC sure found the right time to put this out...
There are a lot of people in every society that simply do not want to understand queer people, but on the other hand, there are also many people that want to understand queer people, so a good idea seems to be ,spend more time with people whom like to understand you and less time with others,
There is no reason to try to have some sort of hope to make a global change towards queer people, as these things take a lot of time and are not achievable in a one lifetime span,
Live your life at the fullest ,good luck
To say it isn't achievable in one life time is pretty much not true. There has been plenty of countries who achieved it in one life time. Even the largest country being America achieved it in an activist life time. Of course there would need to be a societal structure for that. Which that takes long but besides taht it cam be done
Interesting. Do the same with Saudi Arabia now.
Saudi Arabia Is An Important Stradegic Ally
Are you seriously suggesting that there haven't been bad reports of discrimination & other things, about SA? 😂😂 You have got to be joking...
Next you're gonna say they never speak badly of Isrl. Lol
Or Isreal, UK, Europe and etc 😂😂😂😂
@@wokeone167 Yes, bro. There have never been bad reports about Israel at the BBC 😂😂🤦♀️ /s
Exactly what I was saying...
We have black people in south region of iran, i dont think that ethnic matters in iran would be more as widespread as europe or america
Watch the first 300 movie
Are there any Persians protesting on their behalf?
I find it interesting and important to point out that in ancient Persia (more pagan - Zoroastrian; more in tune in living with nature and people being part of the natural ecosystem), the diversity of folks was celebrated and the norm (race - vast across the many regions; gender - ie. Ancient Persian poets were all for the majority Queer and celebrated, etc.), but it wasn’t until colonialism and imperialism by the White western countries and patriarchal Muslim and Christianity religion dominated countries that Iranian culture became more bigoted towards these communities and marginalized them.
No even under islam many persianised and Persian poets were still queer.. like rumi and his alleged male lover they wrote poems about each other openly
@@introtwerpit depends on the government. If the government is more literal Islamic, then there's more discrimination, if less literal/more secular and liberal Islam then there is less discrimination
@@sarakunb621 during the shah’s so-called liberal regime there was still a lot of racism and homophobia. More white appearing Iranian people were revealed.
But the Persian army were ruthless towards others and had their own apartheid
zoroastrianism is a monotheistic religion which at the time of its formation buried all pagan practices and its text is also riddled with misogyny and homophobia
Nobody can boast treating blacks with equally and respectfully. Most of us are where we are, in diaspora, because for whatever reason, we were trafficked. Unfortunately, it's more a product of the colonial age we live in than the people who themselves are suffering under it too.
Edited to add: The "antiblackness" she suffered is a nearly universal experience for us. It just is what it is.
Edited one more time to add: The "antiblackness" in Iran sounds pale in comparison to what I've suffered myself in the US. I doubt anybody would contest this with a straight face.
It’s not a competition - discrimination is discrimination. The context and landscape matters but the video shows how even half way across the world,
LGBTQ and black peoples are discriminated against. Also some people think they don’t exist in Middle East but they do
But also solidarity, because we should overcome discrimination in society wherever it is, US UK or iran
Freedom is essential. The problem is where and when you feel the desire to break loose and those who may want to help you when you want to breakloose and who you want to see you breaking loose when you are ready. In the case of the Black Iranian lady, it's hard to connect the dots for her considering many African Nations with Muslim majority like Somalia, North Sudan, Mali, Niger, Mauritania, Egypt, Chad (to mention but a few) and others as well have countries like Iran, Iraq, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and others with diplomatic presence in them. Don't they preach love and respect for all their citizens in their mosques? It's disturbing. We all breathe the same air, drink the same water, eat the same food and in the end go less than 2 meters beaneath. Causing citizens unnecessary pain. Very disturbing.
Hard to hide as a black person. You shouldn’t have to but it’s a bit easier to slip through with diff sexuality than is deemed acceptable. Jus sayin..
I’m a queer Jew born and raised in Iran and while I also experienced some of these because of the government, I can’t help but notice that this British propaganda wants to frame Iranian society as the cause when in reality is it’s just the government that’s being supported by UK to this day. The British want to lecture us about racism now too LOL They want to put the blame on our society and culture to discourage the world from the prospects of a free Iran after Islamic Republic because based on this British agenda, we are not worthy of freedom as “we’re so backward”
That must been really hard living in Iran as a Jewish person... I agree the reason Iranian have their issues is because of the islamic regime, and everyone know how bad they are. but how can we deny two people honest and heartbreaking stories like you did in the comment? it is not fair. I want freedom for Iran but It lying if we ignore that we DO have racist, and homophobic people in our society, EVEN in the community of people who DESPERATELY want free iran people silence eachother and judge eachother. we need to fix culture that got poisoned and free iran to all be happy.
@@hamegibaham-m1s Ofcourse we do, but just like any other society. If anything Iran was way ahead of her game before the revolution comparing to many countries in our region and the world. That’s both on queer issues and Jewish emancipation. But ofcourse we are struggling in the past 4 decades because of the kind of regime that BBC actively propagated for. And now in such momentous days, the same media tries to target Iranian society. They could’ve made the same documentary just talking about Iran in general, but notice they are specifically attacking Iranian Society. We were born yesterday if we had forgotten the kind of British propaganda that has tried to antagonise our culture against ourselves to keep us behind. I’m not denying the stories (after all I’m gay and from a marginalized minority) all I’m saying is the frame that is built in this documentary by BBC is targeting Iranian Society and wants to portray to the western audience that women life freedom doesn’t mean Iranians are actually progressive enough to deserve a better future and that their culture is so backwards that would prevent them from a better future. If every German had to wait for racism to end in German society and every American had to wait for civil rights to start in every American family on a cultural level, actual political change would’ve never taken place. I truly believe the UK wants us to waste our time on cultural sectarianism and controversies instead of truly targeting the root of the problem which is the Islamic Republic who has been perpetuated by UK and other European and American liberal allies.
@@Hermesborugerdian I do agree with you, we were very advance thinking before the regime. but the same people who advocatted for regime 48 years ago i doubt they are the young women in the video who did he interview so its not a fair comparison . i agree timing is everything, but a two weeks ago the world dont know what would happen the last two daysand every society has racism and homophobic people like you said, but news changfes quickly.. but also we have to remember how dangerous it is for iranian people to talk about regime. maybe they scared we dont know them, many people talk about regime, there are many documentary that reveal the illegal things the IR did to iranian woman. bbc can't stop the iran revolution or woman life freedom movement from happening, and neither can two people who talk about their upsetting personal life story so dont be worry. I think political change has to happen but culture HAS to change at same time and to keep up with it too. thats point of woman life freedom, its for EVERYONE in iran.
@@hamegibaham-m1s Nobody’s blaming the people featured in the documentary for anything letting alone for the Islamic revolution 😂 like i said they could’ve made the same documentary with the same exact people in it but with less emphasis on “Iranian society”. The usage of that word as opposed to just saying “Iran” is no accident.
All I’m pointing out is simply the BBC agenda, that’s all. This media was single-handedly in charge of the revolutionary propaganda of 79 not according to me but according to Khomeyni himself. And ofcourse they have the power to sabotage our current movement by the same virtue. I mean look at how they minimised an abolitionist movement that came so close to toppling Islamic Republic and it’s gender apartheid in 2022 to a social movement thats stuck in this dichotomy of either soft reform on looser hejab or these idealistic goals that must turn Iran to the most “woke” society ever. Well we know that’s a recipe to keeping IR in power. Putting us between the choice of practical soft reform and this queer utopia that has to be more progressive that even the west (basically an impossibility). Well ofcourse we’re far from being a gay utopia so we’ll end up with the kinda reform the British want us to do for them so they can live in peace with Islamic Republic. What they did to our anti-IR movement of Woman Life Freedom is completely consistent with the kinda agenda pushed by this documentary as well; emboldening the idea that “Iranians need Socio-Cultural change as opposed to first and formost freeing themselves from IR’s institutional oppression”. They want the average westerners to look at us as these problematic racist and backward people all because 99% of us never met a black person in Iran. These are just differing nuances in each society that here is being portrayed as “Iranian racism” to the western audience, whose view on Iran will predict western foreign policy about Iran and the prospective abolishment of Islamic Republic.
@@HermesborugerdianYou know what, I don't agree with you. and that's okay. that is beauty of democracy. I just hope and pray that the day we reach freedom everyone's voice is treated equally, no one is outsider. no one gets treated differently for their politics, religion, sexuality, where they come from, what they look like. because unfortunately in diaspora, it is very toxic, even at our protests we fight fabout our different politics even though we want one same goal to get rid of IR. each society should take responsibility to make videos telling about its issue in culture but dont deny these women of the braveness it took to speak up.
Love you all
I’ve never met an Iranian I didn’t like or respect. So this is not an Iranian issue, but rather an Iranian government issue. They hate their own people. Why? Iranians are good, friendly, respectful, and smart. It’s a shame that the government has destroyed the country. It’s really sad
Skin color discrimination should not at all be concatenated with lifestyle choice discrimination...they are separate categories of discrimination...
In iran people judge every one the base of look ,i gt white skin round face with small eyes and its some thing like tabu nt the base of beauty standards of iranian society that why im nt feel connected to iranian nationality any more ...
Interesting time to air this news story !
Is BBC trying to shape anti-Iran perceptions -- war escalation
This is why i can't stand Western corporate media, the bigotry is unbelievable
What's there to shape perception? It's reality.
@@abhinav.mishra17 it has been the reality for decades. US and UK are drumming up anti-Iran support in their countries to pacify their public that arming Israel is justified
I' have some suspicion as well.
Just a freindly reminder, the eastern bloc is a completely different world than the LGBTQ diversity western world
Thousands of years Rome's population was diverse.
Australia was not, but just look at what is happening now.
Not to mention their long-practiced gendercide. When I lived in Tehran in the early 1970s our housekeeper openly described the practice, and her participation in it, as a fact of practical economics.
Iran is the leader and embodies the vision of Islam.
a bit (or maybe very) misleading as the black woman is only half iranian and half congolese, hence cant really speak for the indigenous black community we have in the south of the country...
I personally think her ethnic make up doesn't matter as much as her experience. she was brought up in Iran, is half Iranian and was judged for the colour of her skin
@@trial-m4j maybe she wasnt fluent in farsi?! it is completely misleading... what she is telling (and its clear from her other work that she is exaggerating because it sells better...) has no value about life of black iranians.
Can we make queer and being black/ african descent too different conversations because they are totally different issues seriously
I think the the video is showing despite coming from different backgrounds, the way they feel echos eachother. i think thats why they put two contrasting stories together. raw human emotion is the same, making us more like eachother than we think. but saying that i do think the video couldve benefitted from being much longer.
It's all around the world and must be taught and reform
❤❤
She/they. 🤦♀️
I don't understand, Ukraine under occupation is unacceptable.
From the first day.
Palestine under occupation is acceptable for 76 years.
Double standard by the US and Europe governments.
??? Maybe you made a comment on the wrong video. To ask your question: "palestina" is under occupation by arabs. Israelis are there on their homeland. Just like ukrainians. As the Kiyivian' Rus was already a power and dominated the area when Moscow was a barn with some animals. You're welcome.
The only Palestine is in the USA, what occupation is there? Of Arabs?
''Black and queer'' lol, always have to include LGBTQ with black people how disrespectful could have just made two separate videos
Wow I didn’t know you have to either be Black or LGBTQ+… God forbid someone can be Black and part of the LGBTQ 😅
@@Beiransvoice I commented within the first minute of watching is the black girl queer to? then it makes sense otherwise i thought only the other girl was queer.
I agree, those are too different yet important groups that need their own videos.
Exactly 💯
The reason why they group it like in usa and 3rd world is because most homosexual people want black 🍆 . The global population is majority LGBT or closeted
They’re echoing words and phrases of west left. They’ve been absorbed. They lacked the individuality they claim they left Iran to express. They didn’t talk like normal people.
People from the lgbt group are found everywhere. Even in places that dont accept their lifestyle. Even in Africa where it isnt acceptable, they are there. I say this because, its not an American ideology as you said. The ACTUAL Western ideology on this topic is the trans agenda in particular. It has scared many nations because it has descended to madness if im to be honest. The fear comes from living in a society where you are forced to play into something that isnt real, for the sake of someone who simply needs help. Alternatively, if you look at Asia, theres a big acceptance for the trans agenda because they dont force others into the whole pronoun thing, and ladyboys for example havent deluded to actually believing they are real women. Many jeep thier man parts in tact and vice versa. But in the West, im sorry it has becime insanity. Many queers are also against the trans agenda. What it has done to American children, terrifies the world. Its that simple. But most places (except islamic nations) dont have an issue with gay/bi people, its a fear of their nations turning into what America has become. We want our spaces, and sports separate for men and women etc... we want these decisions to transition/hormones to be done for people over the age of 18, who have a sound mind to make such a major decision. But the west insists on doing it to children who dont even know that santa is fake. And they actually lie to these people that you can become something you're not. Thats where the issue lies. Hence the major refusal for that in particular. But even in Africa, simply being gay, lesbian or bi isnt a big deal. Its the trans agenda in particular which we dont want to see here.
You are bizarre. 🤣🤣🤣 What are you even talking about? They hit a nerve or what?
free iran❤from this evil regime
Equity on this documentary would have been giving both women equal time. You did not give the Black woman's story enough time. Another glaring example of undervaluing the Black experience.
Did you measure it?
Yawn …….
Ok so bc I'm psycho, I decided to actually measure it:
Black lady:
0:00-0:05 (5 sec.)
1:55-3:15 (80 s)
4:48-6:05 (77 s)
6:38-7:45 (67 s)
10:05-10:45 (40 s)
Total: *269 sec.*
Queer lady:
0:05-0:10 (5 sec.)
0:33-1:55 (82 s)
3:15-4:48 (93 s)
6:05-6:38 (33 s)
7:45-8:18 (33 s)
9:40-10:05 (25 s)
10:45-10:58 (13 s)
Total: *284 sec.*
The difference is just of *15 seconds* more... And the black lady spoke first & last.
@@dyawrthis is the best response ever

our prophet SAW told us to hold onto rope of Quran and follow Allah's commands. It also says you have free will to follow good or bad which will be written in your book - most written book in the world is your book what you have done on earth. It will be presented to you on judgement day.
When you’re trying your hardest to drum up support from the communities that don’t support your barbarity. You find someone they identify with and make them sad
Thanks for confirming the Info, I'm moving to Iran.
Great timing (sarcasm , irony injected ) ...build negativity against Iran ...showing everything bad about Iran.
This is propaganda. No I don't think Iran is without problems but do really think the producers care about the average Iranian.
Shut up BBC and watch what IDF regime is doing with women of Gaza and now with Lebanon. Shame on you!
Great
How about freedom of speech in the west ?
Propaganda by small Britain.
This is not propaganda. Black people have been talking about this decades before BBC said anything. The amount if racism that run rampid across the globe. Even in middle eastern countries. Where there has been clear cases of racism and apathy.
What i hate is that ever society bunches black people up with groups that that can bypass all there issues by not openly expressing their lifestyle .
Big Black Coke (BBC) never disappoints, THE BBC. BLACK AND QUEER!!! EVERY BLACK IS A QUEER!!! THANK YOU
Why is it that you never see an aged "queer" or "trans" in the media? Is it because they never age?! or perhaps because they don't look too happy any more when they slightly get aged?
Well they exist but if they are in more unfriendly country they either are hiding, fled, or sadly didn't survive
@@hopeintruth5119 you missed my point and raised a totally irrelevant other point. Pedophiles also exist, so what?! My point was about glorification of a lifestyle that perhaps isn't as glorious as the media purports.

Cope harder Iran is an Islamic country
👌👍❤️❤️
The black woman said she is Iranian but mispronounced words like Iran and Qajar etc. she culturally appropriated the culture and language under her black disguise. I have so many black Iranian friends and not one has been ostracized or made to feel less Iranian than anyone else. Iranians are way above how this is portrayed. If they feel a certain way it is because of the government not the people. The world doesn’t understand this.
Islam always wins 😂😂😂
That's islam
No discrimination is the uk😂 but sometimes black and muslims be attacked by patriotists😂
That's whataboutism. Of course there are racists in UK. That's because UK is still capitalist state. The video is about discrimination against black and queer people in Iran. Also, UK is diverse in political thought. There are leftists in UK. Leftists in UK care about black and Muslims in UK it is just leftists are powerless right now.
Opposite！
Black and muslims are invading uk which is not your country
And vice versa(which is even more common). The thing is, where is systematic oppression of minorities? That's definitely not the UK but you can lie to yourself if it warms your heart.

Lots of Muslim people are racist regardless, personally I don't know about this

What muslims are you referring to? the majority of muslims are Indonesians/ Indians/African and only 3% of muslims are Arabs. Yes Arabs are racist to the core and treat black people specially those who work for them as less then human, maids commit suicide in the middle east if they are not killed beforehand. Muslim is a faith that anyone can have but racism is embedded in Arab society and the irony is that most gulf Arabs have high percentage of African genes from Tanzania/Zanzibar.
A side of the Iranian regeime and Islamic republic and society that the middle class left never want to talk about. Because they seem to be more concerned with "American Imperialism" even though America has never has had an Empire.
all the misery came to iran after modernism. even islamists took the power after that. hopefully this nightmare will end soon. this will happen
