Egyptian gays join the people's revolt against Mubarek

CAIRO, Egypt -- Amongst the crowds protesting the 30-year dictatorship of Hosni Mubarek in Egypt are many lesbians and gay men.

They have also been amongst the opposition during the past years. On Thursday, one of them, the well-known blogger and activist SandMonkey (the website was taken down by repeated attacks but is now back up) who is gay was arrested, beaten up and later freed. As elsewhere with the protests, events were tracked on Twitter.

1. Mubarik has to go. Everyone is in danger until he is gone

and the regime is changed.

This kind of ugliness lives and crawls in the heart of every authoritarian freak the world over. That is what needs to be overturned, derided, ostracized, outlawed, fucking cast out from humanity.

2. I'm afraid he will go and a clone will take his place.

But even if that happens, maybe a bigger space will be made for the people.

7. That person is funny, like Lenny Bruce funny.

I have to open earlier tweets, I did it wrong, but already He's said the xtian pic was a media sham and that Mubarik has property throughout Europe ( I heard on MSNBC thst he only had homes in Egypt.)

I jes can't keep up no more, Sfexy.
