Googoosh is one Iran most prominent female singers and this week she has released a music video in support of the country’s LGBT community. As you can imagine it has sparked much backlash,especially in a country where being gay is a criminal office; punishable by death..

The music video is set in first person perspective, and is about a couple day-to-day life. However there is a twist, and it is only at the end of the video you release you are viewing the world of a lesbian couple.

Googoosh has always spoken out against homophobia in the conservative country, but here she takes things to a whole new level. We support her bravery.
