Writer Michael Luongo has been publishing a fantastic series on being “Gay in Iraq” for the Gay City News. The series is based on Luongo’s travels to the country, and it’s pretty unique as few outlets have tackled this topic with original reporting in country, let alone by gay writers.

WNYC’s Leonard Lopate did a fantastic interview with Luongo today which you can hear right here at the Blend:

You can read Luongo’s entire series at the Gay City News.
