Mahmood gay

Molti si chiedono se Mahmood sia gay e il cantante si è ritrovato a parlare più volte del suo orientamento sessuale, dei coming out e di un suo ex fidanzato. Ecco cosa ha detto. Mahmood has cited American singer Frank Ocean as his biggest influence: " [His music] is very free and in which everyone can identify themselves, gay or straight, because the essential is the person and the energy that he transmits and not the sexual orientation".

A quanto pare si, nel mirino di un presunto coming out è uno dei cantanti: Mahmood è gay?

La notizia ha subito fatto il giro dei social, ma ecco quel è la verità. For years Mohamed's family tried to make him more like other boys - tougher, more "masculine". They even sent him to have a female spirit driven out with hallucinogenic drugs. Eventually, writes Layla Mahmood, they decided to kill him. The heat enveloped year-old Mohamed, as he zig-zagged through the alleyways of Hargeisa.

It was around noon, during the summer of The city was asleep for the daily siesta - shops, restaurants and offices were all closed - so it was a perfect time for anyone who needed to move around under the radar. Mohamed was secretly visiting his boyfriend, Ahmed, an act punishable by imprisonment and sometimes death in Somaliland.

Hargeisa is the capital of the self-declared state of Somaliland, which broke away from Somalia nearly 30 years ago. They live in fear of being exposed. For Mohamed, who says he is quite feminine, it was harder to pass as straight than for some others. Mohamed and Ahmed began their usual romantic encounter behind closed doors, when, to their surprise, Ahmed's sister unexpectedly entered the room.

She began yelling, waking up the whole house. Within minutes Mohamed was out of the door and hiding at a friend's home, where he received a chilling phone call from a well-wisher: "Don't come back home, they are preparing to kill you. When he was young he shared a room with his older brothers and male cousins.

He would often try on their dresses, and after being caught for the third time, his mother felt that she had to do something. His oldest brother was instructed to teach him certain passages of the Koran and its companion scripture, made up of sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, the Hadith. Every night Mohamed would be forced to recite: "God punishes men who make themselves look like women.

And also women who make themselves look like men. He's cursing you. He's planning for you to go to hell in the afterlife," Mohamed says. I used to wake up in the middle of the night in a sweat screaming: 'Oh help me!

Help me from God, he's burning me in hell! For a while Mohamed attempted to satisfy his family's wish to behave more like other boys. When people are young they forget things quickly. Finally, when Mohamed was 12, his mother sent him to a "rehabilitation centre". Institutions designed to reform children, teenagers and young adults who are judged to have strayed from Somali values are scattered throughout Hargeisa, and the rest of Somaliland and Somalia.

People are often held in them against their will in harsh and abusive conditions. According to Mohamed, in many cases they are run by scammers,who distort Islamic scripture for financial gain. Mohamed's family believed that his effeminate behaviour was a result of being possessed by a female jinn, or evil spirit, so the staff claimed they would drive it out. They called themselves "life savers", arguing that they were saving their patients from hell.
