In the Closet: Why Pakistan Isn't Ready for LGBTQ on TV



Flipping through TV channels in Pakistan can be fun but chaotic, with lots of family dramas, political stories, and talk shows. Amidst this, there's a new idea stirring things up: some channels have started to think that they should start showing LGBTQ content on TV. We can see a couple of dramas which are subtly throwing in hints of LGBTQ. However, should they be really doing this?


Imagine this: in a country where even holding hands can cause a stir, are we ready to see LGBTQ stories on TV?
Sure, diversity is great, but do we need to go that far? Picture aunties fainting and uncles shocked because two

characters wore something unconventional in a wedding scene.


Pakistan is a Muslim country with cherished boundaries, including those related to family values and morals.

Everything on TV usually ends on a nice, neat note. While inclusivity is important, do we really need to bring LGBTQ

content to our screens and risk causing a big uproar? Some things, like understanding how characters' relationships

change dramatically, might be better left alone.

Now, we are all for inclusivity – but can't we keep it to things like bringing back PSL or finally figuring out how to get to the MooMust we invite a societal earthquake by inviting LGBTQ content onto our screens? Some things are better left unexplored,like trying to understand how Zaid and Zara suddenly became Zaid and Zain.

Before we make such a big change, let's consider if our society is ready. When the moral compass does not allow you to tolerate this, it is better if we keep the dramas and films made here away from it. For now, let's enjoy our TV shows without disrupting the status quo. A little stability never hurt anyone, unlike ideas that could turn our world upside down.

In the glitzy realm of high-profile divorces, where every word is meticulously crafted by handlers and legal minds, Sheikha Mahra bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has taken a refreshingly direct approach. Recently, the daughter of Dubai's leader made headlines not for lavish statements but for a candid Instagram post, marking the end of her marriage just over a year after its start. In her verified Instagram account, Sheikha Mahra addressed her husband simply: "Dear Husband." What followed was an announcement so straightforward it startled many: "As you are occupied with other companions, I hereby declare our divorce. I divorce you, I divorce you, and I divorce you." Her use of the controversial practice of triple talaq, where a Muslim man can divorce his wife by uttering "I divorce you" three times, added a layer of cultural intrigue to the announcement.
