PUBLIC PROFILE
Who are we?
- Behind the Mask (BtM) is a media NGO that publishes a news website, covering news about lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people’s affairs in Africa. It was formed in May 2000 by Bart Luirink, a Dutch journalist living in both South Africa, and Amsterdam. Luirink came up with the concept for BtM while he was working as editor of ZAM magazine. He came across many gay people who were living heterosexual lives, during his travels through Africa, and the idea for BtM was born. For the last ten years, BtM has used activism and journalism to provide reliable information about LGBTI issues in Africa.
