Click here to view the photo of the poster Mia’s co-star Diora Baird posted via Twitter. Unfortunately it’s not the most flattering or professional looking poster I’ve ever seen, but hey, at least it features Mia. Let’s just hope the cover art on the DVD looks a bit better.

Freedom in Malawi, With Questions for the Future
Posted on May 31, 2010 by Stef • Filed under I Live Here • 0 Comments
The president of Malawi, Bingu wa Mutharika, has issued an unconditional pardon for for Steven Monjeza, 26, and Tiwonge Chimbalanga, 33,
Both men had been sentenced to fourteen years in prison, the maximum penalty for their “marriage” ceremony.
The pardon is a step in the right direction toward equal rights for all men and women in Malawi, as dictated by their Constitution.
The President issued the following statement:
“These boys committed a crime against our culture, our religion and our laws; however, as the head of state I hereby pardon them and therefore ask for their immediate release with no conditions… I have done this on humanitarian grounds but this does not mean that I support this.”
While the act of a pardon is invigorating, the president’s statement confuses and leaves many unanswered questions.
Mia Kirshner Answers the Call for Social Responsibility in Malawi: Exclusive
Posted on May 18, 2010 by Stef • Filed under I Live Here, Interviews • 0 Comments
Steven Monjenza and Tiwonge Chimbalanga united their love and lives last December in a traditional Malawian engagement ceremony. Now, less than six months later, the two men are facing a possible 14-year sentence in prison doing hard labor. Gay marriage is illegal in Malawi and the two men have been charged under Malawi colonial-era sodomy laws. Their fate will be decided on Tuesday, May 18, 2010.
The L Word star Mia Kirshner was in Malawi when it all went down and took note firsthand at how inhumanely the situation played out in the media across the globe. Of that fateful day and the events following, she says. “I was in Malawi when they were married. Pretty wild, huh? So I was witness. We were getting tested for Malaria or something crazy like that and I could see the front pages of the nation’s and other newspapers – sort of reporting what had happened. It was almost like reading a comic book account of these two men being arrested because they were having a commitment ceremony according to Malawian custom. Two days later, they were arrested. ”
Malawi Gay Couple To Be Imprisoned: I Will No Longer Keep Quiet
Posted on May 15, 2010 by Stef • Filed under I Live Here, Miscellaneous, News & Gossip • 3 Comments
My name is Mia Kirshner and I am the director of I Live Here Projects. The aim of our organization is to provide urgent care to communities that have slipped through the cracks. Our first project is in Kachere Juvenile Prison in Malawi, where we are forming a full-time school, permaculture garden project and legal rights. These children had slipped through the cracks when we first arrived in Kachere.
That is not what this piece is about.
I am writing about an issue that I can no longer keep quiet about.
While I was in Malawi in December, Malawi’s first gay couple got married in a public commitment ceremony. Their names are Tiwonge Chimbalanga and Steven Monjeza. I read the headlines detailing their wedding and sardonic commentary of the journalists writing the pieces. Two days after they married, they were met with both public cheers and humiliation. They now face over a decade of hard labor in a Malawian prison for their actions.
