Photo @Hammond_Robin for @WhereLoveIsIllegal | “We thought love never existed in our world,” says Ben. “Little did we know love is everywhere - but the challenge is bitter.” Ben (above) and John (below), a gay couple from Ghana, have been together for three years. The love they share is a secret. They know that to be openly gay in Ghana would provoke the glare of disapproval, or worse - homophobia is a violent kind of bigotry: “I was attacked by gang guys twice,” says Ben. “The first I was beaten, second, my partner and I was attacked by a gun. His hand was shot and had to go under a surgery - all in the name of stigma and discrimination in Ghana. We’re living in a world of fear.” Where Love is Illegal traveled to Kenya, Mozambique and Ghana with the support of Elton John AIDS Foundation (@ejaf) to continue our work sharing LGBTQI+ stories of survival and to raise awareness of the impacts of stigma. Around the world, grants made by the Elton John AIDS Foundation make possible the work of countless community-rooted organizations that touch the lives of millions every day.
