Bahi, aka Beki, sat down with Danny and conversed about navigating Ethiopia as a queer male sex worker. Through sets of questions, the discussion takes us through the life of Danny, from his upbringing to his aspiration as a young Ethiopian with dreams who finish high school and join higher education to became a civil engineer. How the homophobia he experienced from his family, society and government lead him to sex work to secure his financial sovereignty.
The conversation also attempts to give political analysis starting from dangerous sexual coercion, indoctrination of patriarchy within the queer community, Conversion therapy, and the importance of self-organizing as queer political resistance.
