It's 2011, and the Arab Spring is being documented by a heady mixture of up-to-the-minute citizen reporting, tweeting and blogging. One particular voice begins to stand out — the Gay Girl in Damascus — Amina Arraf. On her blog, Amina describes herself as an out lesbian with a passion for human rights and her homeland. Amina’s evocative writing describes her everyday life, the occasional sexy anecdote and the stirring rebellion around her. It wins her adoring fans from around the world. And also leads Sandra, a woman in far away Montreal, to fall in love.
