Take a closer look at the couple from Malawi


While there has been a great deal of coverage regarding the situation of the couple in Malawi, almost nothing has been addressed to the situation that this couple does not fit the label of gay couple.  The following two articles bring a new understanding of the couple and what they face.  We have not seen anything written concerning this previously.  Our thanks to to Jim Burroway for the research involved as well as his capacity to allow people to self-identify as they wish and the refusal to impose our own cultural understandings on others.

“The Malawi Couple: Gay or Transgender? Or Something Else?”
from Box Turtle Bulletin

“Once again the ‘T’ in LGBT is silenced”
from Guardian UK
