Christian and Syed: An Inspirational Story
This page has been set up to raise as much money as possible for the gay, lesbian and bisexual charity, Stonewall.
The inspiration for this fundraiser has been driven from the BBC’s flagship gay couple, Christian and Syed, portrayed by Marc Elliott and Johnny Partridge. The Christian and Syed love story is a story that many fans have taken to their hearts. Together we have watched them grow in love but moreover, fight of the everyday prejudices and bigotry from their critics. As a result of their sexuality and love for one another, we have seen Christian suffer a homophobic physical attack, a homophobic outburst from Syed’s mother Zainab and perceived as a perversion. Likewise, Syed has been told by his mother that he’s better off dead than gay and he even sought out de-gaying therapy as an attempt to “cure” himself.
Watching Christian and Syed together has not only melted our hearts but reinforced our need for them to be together, despite all the opposition they face. EastEnders’ 3D view of the story has strengthened our values, ethics and views over homosexuality. We believe that every person should be free from ridicule, abuse, oppression and bullying, regardless of who they love or attracted to. We also support and endorse the need for people to educate others about equality, tolerance and acceptance. This is why we have chosen Stonewall charity.
Stonewall aims to help people every day, just like Christian and Syed. They stand for equality and justice and endeavour to bring to light the very oppressive attitudes and hate crime that gay, lesbian, and bisexual people face on a day-to-day basis. Moreover, they work hard in schools and work places to raise awareness of sexuality and promote equality among all. It could be a Syed they are reaching to or a Christian - or even a Zainab or a Masood by challenging their views on homosexuality. By raising enough money as possible, we believe we can help and if it means a mother not forcing their son into a life time of oppression or a young man or woman not taking their life because of who they are, then we have made a difference.
So please, I urge you all to donate whatever you can to this worthy cause and spread the word to as many people as possible.
Thank you,
From the Christian and Syed Fans
