The words gay and Pakistan don't sit comfortably together. Pakistan is religiously conservative and politically unstable; not the kind of place where you expect gay liberation. Here, the homosexual community is practically invisible and the national language has no polite word for gay people. So how can a 'gay scene' even exist and will a gay rights movement ever emerge? Mobeen Azhar has been to Pakistan to try to find some answers.
