The fall of Kabul; the resurrection of the Taliban - it was a harrowing scene for most. But for LGBTQ Afghans, it's a nightmare come true. Nemat Sadat - believed to be one of the first Afghans to publicly come out as gay - has warned it is not hyperbolic to compare the Talban's plans to the actions of the Nazis. [They'll] weed them out and exterminate them from Afghan society," he said. Almost overnight, his Twitter has turned into a stark reminder of the reality the queer community faces, flooded with anecdotes of civilians wishing they could turn invisible, fearing for their lives, and desperate for a way out. And then there's a picture that makes even the most avid Twitter scroller stop in their tracks: the lacerated arm of a man on the Taliban's hit list. Fortunately, he managed to escape. Now, the UK government is being urged to make LGBTQ+ Afghans a priority group for evacuation. In a letter sent to Dominic Raab, Stonewall and Rainbow Migration said: "LGBTQ+ Afghans need our support. But they will not be able to benefit from the Government's evacuation programme unless they receive targeted support... "Like all of those seeking to flee, it is clear that robust security efforts are needed for vulnerable people to be able to leave the country to seek safety."
