Summaries

Family secrets is the first Egyptian movie entirely talking about Homosexuality in Egypt. Marwan who is 18, the main Gay actor, passes through a journey that every Egyptian gay guy passes through. The movie shows different opinions about Homosexuality for 4 different doctors basically describing the four categories of doctors who respond to such cases, one of them said that homosexuality is natural and the society should accept it. Although many say it is a pro-Gay conversion therapy, many of the Egyptian and Arab LGBT community have seen a glimpse of hope to find a movie debating the issue in public and it is considered a taboo to talk about.—Youssef Elmasry
