Being Gay & Persian (with Zoya Biglary)

This for you Made it out you are a disgrace to Lesbian who believes in you but you don't care cause money is sent to you so why work

Iranian here. Seriously nobody has time to bother you are gay or trance or straight. ❤ you seem to be sometimes so sad . This is how I feel from hearing your voice and seeing your face. It is so natural too. Immigration is always challenging in this society! Sending you support in my own way ❤ by the way it is good your mom asked you questions. My mom will act like she did not even hear me. Anything she didn’t like and felt it is stressful she did not hear 😅

I love Zoya and I look forward to seeing her marry her girlfriend ....so cute....well ...g'day from Melbourne Australia ...land of the best beaches ..

Zoya joon, to ro kheyli doost daaram jonke YOU ARE LIVING AUTHENTICALLY AS YOUR SELF and it’s so inspiring. Daste shomaa dard nakone!!!

Please explain what "U-Haul" and "Ughost" is?

Great interview and a charming and calm guest. Somewhat sad too...

You should watch the "Heartstopper" series! And tell all your friends especially the irainians about it! It's one of the best shows I have ever watched.

Perfect Persian dark humor. I miss my Persian friends 😢❤

It’s so sad that you feel the need to say “Iran was like Europe” to give the idea that it was a nice country.. no. Iran was never like Europe. All of these innovations were FROM MUSLIMS. So you’re setting the idea that islam set Iran back when in reality it’s the reason for its successes.

I was touched by the comments. So many people suffering just because they want to show others who they are. I wish we lived in a world where people were allowed to be themselves.

she's such a pure soul with the most beautiful genuine smile 😍

I’m really glad that you had Zoya as a representer, thank you!

I’m so glad that you are happy now. I’m so sorry about your experience coming out to your family. 😢❤

I have a lot of respect for you Zoya. I think your parents must be proud of you. I am not a gay woman, but the way you handled your life with the restrictive culture we have is beyond comprehension. I wish you a happy life and peace with your family. When I was in Iran in high school I had a classmate whose last name was like yours. Maybe she is from your dad's side of the family. I live in Orange County now. Good luck dear.🙏🌺

Beautiful episode

💪🏽❤🎉

Thank you zoya for sharing ut story with us.
You are brave! I don't imagine that I will do this one day :)
I prefer to know the whole world and my parents NEVER EVER know <3

So sweet hollow cheek, I have too and gave that sweet gene to my daughter ❤️👌🏻

Wow... I'm amazed to see an Iranian homosexual girl for the first time in my long life. I'm proud of you Zoya.Afarin!❤

Just remember people, the Iranian expats living in the USA are mostly monarch dictator supporters, loving the late Shah. Zoyas views are not the views of the majority of the Iranian people. The Revolution was the best thing that ever happened to Iran, things were horrible before the revolution, women were uneducated and the Shah tortured people to death who wanted democracy. During the Shah Irans was being given away to the west.

You use the word 'gay' then you use the woke word 'queer' make you choice, do you stand with actual gay people or with fake woke queer people?

خیلی دوستت دارم زویا مرسی ک تصویر ب این خوشگلی از کشورمون ب آدما نشون میدی❤❤❤❤❤❤

درود بر تو زویا

Ok l cried a lot😭

Thanks for sharing zoya it means a lot❤️hope that we all overcome to worry about these stuffs, and may the world let us all to be free however we want without being worried about the outcome.✨

Zoya,
I know you must be such a great roll model to the young people in the persian community.

Zoya we are very proud of you. Persian women are so strong and such an inspiration to all of us Persian men.

Zoya and alex are so cute,i love them so much 💖.

That was awesome, as a straight Persian girl I am proud of your bravery and tolerance.❤ Good luck all the time.

It was a wonderful episode, thanks Zoya for speaking freely and honestly

Disgraceful 👎

I think as someone who is born and raised in the U.S, you can't fully comment on a country where you haven't lived in for a long time.

Yeah im sad as a Persian we are going back instead of going forwad & WE USED TO BE MORE THAN THIS IN THE PAST ITS HEART BREAKING :)

Thanks my dear for being this much courageous and you are the LIGHT for gay people in Iran ,thanks for being you!!

What a previliged person honestly people in iran are suffering every day under the brutal sanctions and economic hardships and the only thing that upsets our girl over here is that she's is gay ohhh shit everyone take knee for yours truly gaynis.what a joke

She’s afghan she’s not Iranian why she’s known as a Persian

until now I had never realized how much of that "hyper-aware" was still in me. nowadays I'm okay with family and stuff but that baggage still resonates hard...
