Tajik Gay: 'I Don't Want To Be Killed'
After years of hiding his true sexual identity, a Tajik gay has shared his story with RFE/RL's Tajik Service. The 32-year-old paralegal, identified as Komil, says he wants Tajik society to accept him because he has nowhere else to go. "I want to be allowed to live like I want to live," he says. "And I don't want to be killed."
