Unfortunately, in Egypt, we're treated like animals because we're gay. I hope one day to be free and get out of Egypt.😭😭😞 I wish someone would help me get out of Egypt 😔
I hope you find the freedom you long for! But just want to point out that even in the US where I'm "free" as a gay person, it's not as fun or magical as it may seem. I met a very special boy in Egypt who I still think of all the time...you never know who's around you who could change your life for the better :) From my videos you'll see I've travelled all over, chasing a fantasy of the "perfect gay city" but it really doesn't exist. Of course, it's much harder to be gay in certain places, but my point is - you can make an excellent life anywhere - a lot of it comes down to opening your eyes, mind, & spirit - and serendipity reaching you along the way 😘
@KevenTalks 😞😞 I am so disappointed
I totally get you and your feeling. I see so many people forced to live in the shadows, always having to be careful what you do, what you say and to who. Being gay as far as I know is not a crime by law in Egypt, but that does not mean that it's not frown upon either or like they don't use other laws to persecute gays. Not to mention the risk of being seen and "punished" by anyone on the street. On the other end I know that unfortunately life for gay people, or LGBTQIA people is not easy also in many western countries, Italy included (where I am from).
I don't want to live in the shadows @Ana Tohfa.
@@mones790 of course not, who would want that ☹️
I used to walk home from collage with my friend arm in arm almost everyday, .... hand in hand exists but rare and you might get a stare but nothing more
... arm around each other or on the shoulder of each other are very common, sometimes while arm on the shoulder, you touch the neck "speaking for myself anyway, I do that a lot" 😂😂😂😂
okey, the description would definetily go for me, because my friend is really masculine 😂, and I'm the one who show more sympathy toward the other when we speak 🤔😂
See lol I said so!! Lucky you that you got away with it ;)
Hey
Do I need to worry when i will travel as a gay couple to sharm el sheikh?
I've never been there, but since it's such a famously tourist / beach destination, I'm sure you won't be the first gay couple there...that being said, I don't think you should "advertise" it there either. I think if you present yourselves as friends, you'll be fine.
@@KevenTalks Thank you
That music is awful in the background.
lol
To me Egypt and especially Morocco are places where there is more homosexual behavior than any other place on earth. So of course your Grindr app exploded. In many Muslim countries women are sacred, so when men are young they experiment among eachother (read the kiterunner). When I was in Morocco, I felt like I could have had 4/5 guys when I would walk around with little clothes on I got stares from top to bottom. The only down side is that you have to always be the bottom...
Haha it's probably all that suppressed homosexuality / sexuality in general!!!
hello! this reply is 2 years later so im not sure if it'll be seen but I'll just place it here. it's quite lengthy but i still wanna share it
I'm an Egyptian, bi teenager and you can say I'm nonbinary (assigned female at birth) and I live in cairo
i came here thinking it was an Egyptian talking about gay dating in Egypt but although you're not egyptian i can pretty much say you're accurate in like everything. (unfortunately) it's like this generally here
however, I've noticed that although it's really hard to be lgbt+ in egypt, it's really nice to see that the younger generations are starting to be more accepting. gen z, and some millennials, are the generations in which lgbt+ acceptance is starting to get better in (of course not fully)
For my generation, aka anyone in their teens rn, it's basically impossible to find parents that will be accepting if you're lgbt+. friends? mostly no too, but there's a possibility. i have a lotttt of Egyptian online friends which are either lgbt themselves, or are cishet but supportive of the community and I'm very comfortable with all of them. in this time lgbt people are getting more comfortable with having online communities on social media (personally I'm on twitter) it's mostly people who don't show their accounts to their irls. but they can show their faces and just have a fun time normally while also not hiding they're lgbt. I'm also lucky enough to have an irl best friend & a neighbor, and although she was raised in a very strict, conservative and even abusive, limiting environment, she still is pretty openminded and genuinely good and is the only person who i came out to (irl, not online)
so in short, lgbt people are definitely forced to live in the closet especially with people who have access to them irl, but online there's more space and people can be themselves there if they find they're secure. also we have a trans woman lgbt activist who has an account on Facebook and Twitter and she's really good
Thank you for sharing!!
As an egyption well our government doesn't mess with tourists but egyption yes if someone is gay they get 3 years in jail
Wait you're in the FBI AND an Egyptian citizen? That presents a conflict of interest, no? 😜
@@KevenTalks never said i was in the fbi thats for jokes
@@FBI-qj2yt lol I know, I was joking too
No they do not get 3 years. That is a lie. Alot of men meet each other on sex apps and Facebook and even at Mahala Bath house. I have alot of gay friends in Cairo, Port Said and Suez. No one cares.
@@sharjjahnaziz4122 stop lying bro i live here seen it with my own eyes your friends should watch out cuz no one wants them here

so in short, lgbt people are definitely forced to live in the closet especially with people who have access to them irl, but online there's more space and people can be themselves there if they see they're secure. and can find allies or other lgbt friends from there and eventually become irl friends if possible. also we have a trans woman lgbt activist called malak el kashif which has an account on Facebook and Twitter and she's really good :)
You look quite local for me , i would have guess you are Middle East
I'm half Turkish :) Maybe that's why
I find it interesting that you say someone can turn on or off "gayness."
Yes..."code switching." Some do it better than others.
But u ask pedophiles to n they have a psychological eeason whereas homosexuality has no psycholigical or biological disposition.
Nice video Kev. I was in Morocco in 2018 and I can relate to your sentiment of feeling uncomfortable and generally wary of your surroundings. Gay men can be easy prey especially if a hook up is involved and the other guy demands money, so that is something to also be aware of. I also think in these types of countries there can be a set of rules for tourists and another for locals. I think the authorities would generally be far harsher on locals than tourists but it’s never that clear cut so always best to exercise caution!
Well said!
Meeting someone in the public space cannot necessarily help someone. I mean that if someone wants to harm you, he will harm you. So, you meet someone in public, he makes you feel he is ok and trust him and when you go to his house he harms you. Of course, meeting someone in person in a public space helps a lot to see if there is chemistry or if he looks weird, but I don't think it can make you totally be sure that the other person is ok.
There's always a risk with meeting someone for the first time. Same can happen meeting someone at a bar. I have a friend who met a guy at a convenience store - as innocent as possible, right? And that guy, after a few weeks of dating, ended up stealing some of her belongings. So yes, there's always a risk. But meeting the person in public is a good way to at least decrease that risk.
@@KevenTalks Sure, but I am sorry for your friend.
@@jasonlk9472 She got over it eventually ;)
Good vid but the music is distracting
Agreed, it's an old video 😢
Very interesting 🤔
Haha. Which part? 😜
KevenTalks in the part that I’ve been around guys that are culturally weird that way! I’m sure that in there country it’s extremely strong 😫but what I’ve noticed is there is a passion/ intensity that’s right under the surface 🤔that I always pick up on with men from that part of the world 🌍
@@jciv9149 Yes...it's unfortunate. It's like they're stifled.
As a bisexual i can relate, a part of me dies every day cause of egypt, i wish every one can be their true self
In the history of Egypt, has there always been discrimination against gays and lesbians? Or did discrimination only begin to occur with the predominance of the Muslim religion?
you live in another world!!!
What do you mean? lol
É o que eu pensava. Tem gays no Egito, eles só não querem admitir isso e também fiquei surpreso com a quantidade de mensagens no grinder rsrsrs
Very insightful. Thanks.
Thanks for watching :)
Excellent video!!! Gay dating in Egypt is much like I thought it would be. I love hearing your thoughts and observations!!!
Thanks for watching!
All your talks are too 'samey' and general, stuff you can read up on before you arrive, e.g. being gay is illegal here: derr. Tell us about specific dates you had. What happened to you? Anyone could do your reports.
Literally all you had to do was check out my channel...I made date story videos about almost each city I went to...lol

How about other African countries
Never been to any other African countries... yet :)
@@KevenTalks there are 20 African countries with no gay laws. But gay friendly is south Africa Madagascar Mozambique.
@@pauljones3557 Awesome! Always helpful to know. One day I will head over to South Africa...one day...
L
You never talk about planet Romeo.
Never been on that app! I think it might be more common outside the US but here no one uses it!
@@KevenTalks planet Romeo is big in Europe south east asia Philippines Thailand Indonesia. Africa.
I used it in south America.
@@pauljones3557 Good to know!

Cool video. Greetings from Portugal
Thanks for watching :) Greetings from the airport in Toronto, Canada lol
Ola meu lindo Portugal 🇵🇹
@@KevenTalks Woah. I thought I saw you on my Tinder, but for some reason thought it was a fake. How long are you in Toronto?
@@Victorrrrrrrrrrr2024 Haha I was at the Toronto airport for 2 hours for a connecting flight :)
All love from Egypt 🏳️🌈

As you say being gay is not kosher. I have several gay friends from northern africa. Jup living in a closet is normal, normally being married with the opposite sex. If you have sex on the side, no one cares. So it's kind of a macho culture, which you to some extends also can find in the Balkan countries of Europe. Still there are gays who try to become a couple (which is close to impossible)
Normally as one from the west you wouldn't get big problems except a fine
It's both homophobic and misogynistic, this idea of marrying a woman just for facade purposes and carrying on with gay sex and affairs behind closed doors. So sad and gross.
@@KevenTalks Agree 100%!
It is not appropriate to wave flags and highlight one sexuality over another in middle eastern countries or north Africa which practices modesty and integrity in public. Sexuality must not be a focus because it causes differences and separation. No Islamic country wants people to come for sex tourism regardless of their sexuality.
Love how you assumed I came for "sex tourism." Never mentioned sex once in this video. Stop projecting your homophobia onto others.
