--------------------

I came to my family
I came to my family
But they didn’t accept me
I knocked on the door
But no one opened …
Goodbye bride of the sea, I'm going back to the lion well (Beer Sheva)
I took off my mask,
they didn’t recognize me
I tried my best,
they didn’t believe me
I came to my family
But they didn’t accept me
I knocked on the door but no one opened
Goodbye bride of the sea, I'm going back to the lion well (Beer Sheva)
Goodbye bride of the sea Goodbye bride of the sea,
Goodbye bride of the sea, I'm going back to the lion well (Beer Sheva)

“Ghanni A`an Taa`rif” (Singing Sexuality) is a Palestinian youth music project, and an initiative of alQaws for Sexual and Gender Diversity in Palestinian Society.  The project emerged from the desire of alQaws activists to reach out to Palestinian youth. alQaws aspired to open new discussions about sexuality and gender diversity in Palestinian society through music. Music is an expressive art form that has the potential to make us think and feel; it is a driver and catalog of revolutionary social movements, this one no exception.

The media campaign for the project was launched on the first of May 2013, primarily through Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and email. The Facebook page holds all relevant information about "Ghanni A`an Taa`rif", as well as all written and visual materials that were and will be produced. These include three promotional teaser videos directed by Eli Reziq and Shahd Issawi. The campaign also included graffiti painted on the walls of Jaffa, Haifa and other cities.
