How Gay is Pakistan?

Presenter Mawaan Rizwan sets out to discover what life is really like for gay people in Pakistan. Homosexuality is illegal in Pakistan, even considered to be a disease by some. In this revealing journey to the country of his birth, Mawaan meets some people who live their lives openly as LGBT, despite the constant fears of retribution. He also explores whether the fears of Pakistan’s gay community are justified. He discovers a fascinating world behind closed doors, where homosexuality is discussed and practised in private more than he ever thought. During his time in the country he’s also surprised to be offered a miracle herbal cure for his own homosexuality.
