The Oprah Winfrey Show does a special segment TODAY on Gay Around the World.
Mazen, from 'A Jihad for Love' who was imprisoned and tortured during the Cairo 51 arrests in 2001 is headlined on the show. Watch Mazen speak with the honesty and integrity, I know so well, about this painful past and his struggle for acceptance and a new life as a refugee on the show. Also included will be clips from 'A Jihad for Love'. Please tune in and look for further information including a mention of the film at Oprah.com
