Reviews"If reading from the context of queer lit, what's most revolutionary about God in Pink is its insistence on faith ... God in Pink gives voice to the often voiceless, offer the outside world a window into their lives, and provide a glimmer of hope for change." -- The Globe and Mail "One can only hope that a courageous and talented voice like Namir's can hold a mirror up to Iraqi citizens so they can at least start seeing their fellow gay and lesbian citizens as valued human beings and not evil sinners to be ostracized, oppressed, silenced, and murdered." -- Bay Area Reporter, This beautiful book moves back and forth between Ramy's quiet moments and violence but the most important thing that this book does is to capture the pain and the determination and fortitude of gay Iraqi Muslims. -- Reviews by Amos Lassen, "If reading from the context of queer lit, what's most revolutionary about God in Pink is its insistence on faith ... God in Pink gives voice to the often voiceless, offer the outside world a window into their lives, and provide a glimmer of hope for change." -- The Globe and Mail "One can only hope that a courageous and talented voice like Namir's can hold a mirror up to Iraqi citizens so they can at least start seeing their fellow gay and lesbian citizens as valued human beings and not evil sinners to be ostracized, oppressed, silenced, and murdered." -- Bay Area Reporter "This book should be on everyone's shelf -- religious and non-religious alike. It is a raw, passionate, gritty tale of not only these two men who chose different paths, and are still making choices, but also of the many people around them who make their own life decisions to love, hate, accept, kill, tolerate or repel them." -- Philadelphia Gay News
