Angry and afraid, Afghanistan's LGBTQ community say they're being hunted down after Taliban takeover
CNN
LGBTQ people in Afghanistan who spoke to CNN say they need help to escape Taliban fighters before they are discovered and forced to face the new regime's brutal laws.
Despite being born in a country with a long history of discrimination against its LGBTQ people, Balkhi's family accepted her as a lesbian.
CNN's Jeevan Ravindran contributed to this article. Now Balkhi says that rare acceptance has put all their lives at risk, as the new Taliban leadership in Kabul unleashes a wave of physical violence and fear on Afghanistan's gay, lesbian and transgender population.
