When it comes to gay rights on the continent, Africans are conflicted. In Nigeria, Uganda, Cameroon, Kenya, Tanzania and many other countries, it's illegal.

She is known for being the first public figure from Botswana to openly identify as a trans. Va-Bene Fiatsi is a trans performance artist from Ghana who explores gender fluidity. Right now, the Ghanaian parliament is considering enacting anti-gay legislation which could lead to up to 10 years in jail. As an activist, Fiatsi is on the frontlines actively opposing it.Sheba Akpokli from Togo works as a lawyer in Canada and is a strong advocate for LGBTIAQ+ people. Hosted on Acast.

Il est incroyablement courageux d'admettre à soi-même et aux autres que l'on n'est pas hétéro. Surtout dans certaines parties de l'Afrique où à cause de la religion ou de la tradition, se dire gay, bi ou trans peut entraîner de graves conséquences.Pour cet épisode, Claude parle à trois jeunes Africains qui expliquent quand ils ont réalisé qu'ils n'étaient pas forcément hétéros et quand ils ont décidé d'en parler à leurs parents, amis et collègues (et dans quel ordre).Kat Kai Kol-Kes est connue pour être la première personnalité publique du Botswana à s'identifier ouvertement comme une personne transgenre.

Transfeindlichkeit hat viele Facetten: Mit Felicia Ewert sprechen wir über TERFs, aber auch Ausschlüsse in eigentlich inklusiven cis-queeren Communities. Beispiele sind einerseits große Organisationen wie Terre des Femmes und andererseits Dating als queere trans Person. Felicia schlüsselt für uns Cisfeminismus auf und wir sprechen noch ein letztes Mal über *die* Szene bei Princess Charming.

Wie wird queere Diversität in den unterschiedlichen Kulturbereichen problematisiert und thematisiert? Filmkritikerin Ann Mayer, Musikredaktor Benjamin Herzog und Theaterkritiker Andreas Klaeui haben Stimmen eingeholt und diskutieren im Studio. Im Februar setzten sich unter dem Hashtag #ActOut 185 queere Schauspieler*innen für Offenheit und Akzeptanz in der Fernseh- und Filmbranche ein. Was bringt die Aktion, warum ist so eine Aktion überhaupt (noch) nötig? Wie homophob und diversitätsfeindlich sind die Künste? Gibt es Unterschiede zwischen Film-, Theater und Opernbetrieb? Dazu haben Filmkritikerin Ann Mayer, Musikredaktor Benjamin Herzog und Theaterkritiker Andreas Klaeui Stimmen eingeholt und diskutieren im Studio. Weitere Themen: - «Mehr Repräsentation nicht nur nach aussen!» - «Wenn ich ins Theater ging, habe ich mich nie repräsentiert gesehen» - «Wir leben in einer Umbruchszeit»

Laurence Vanceunebrock a déposé en juin 2020 une proposition de loi pour interdire les pratiques visant à modifier l'orientation sexuelle ou l'identité de genre d'une personne.Exorcismes, excisions, électrochocs, manipulation mentale... ce ne sont que quelques unes des pratiques répertoriées lors des auditions que Laurence Vanceunebrock - députée LREM - et Bastien Lachaud - député LFI - ont menées pour comprendre l'étendue de ces pratiques d'un autre temps qui, après les États-Unis, commencent à prospérer en France.Dans ce podcast, Laurence Vanceunebrock nous explique l'importance et l'urgence de légiférer sur le sujet. Nous discutons des limites du droit français actuel sur les thérapies de conversion, de son travail pour préparer cette proposition de loi, du temps qu'il faut pour que le texte soit adopté, des résistances rencontrées, de l'évolution des mentalités, de ceux qui pratiquent ces thérapies, de ce qui sous-tend une orientation vers une thérapie de conversion, de l'urgence de reconnaître les victimes (une étude américaine estime à 700 000 le nombre de victimes rien qu'aux États-Unis) et de pénaliser ces pratiques afin de protéger les personnes homosexuelles, transgenres et par extension toute la population LGBTIAQ+.Dès 2015, un rapport du Haut‑Commissariat des Nations unies aux droits de l’homme appelait à l’interdiction des "thérapies de conversion", soulignant l’inquiétude grandissante face à des "pratiques contraires à l’éthique, dénuées de fondement scientifique, inefficaces et, pour certaines d’entre elles, constitutives de torture". Le 1er mars 2018, le Parlement européen a adopté une motion condamnant les "thérapies de conversion" et appelant les États membres de l’Union européenne à légiférer pour les interdire.Une interview réalisée par © Anne Greffe - So Sweet Planet.

Bisexuelle Menschen werden oft unsichtbar gemacht und ausgeschlossen: Sind sie für die queere Community oft nicht queer genug, ist es den Heteros schon wieder zu viel. Dazu kommen noch genderspezifische Vorurteile, während bisexuelle Frauen gerne mal für irgendwelche Männerfantasien herhalten müssen, werden bisexuelle Männer immer noch viel zu oft als pervers und eigentlich ja schwul angefeindet. Dabei sind es gar nicht mal so wenige Menschen, die sich im bisexuellen Spektrum selbst einordnen würden.  Warum also sind diese Ausschlüsse immer noch so präsent? Und wie gehen bisexuelle Menschen damit um? Und wie funktionieren die Intersektionen von Bifeindlichkeit und Rassismus? Darüber sprechen Dominik und Zuher in Folge 10 mit ihren Gäst*innen Josephine Papke und Ahmed Sadkhan.

Wir sprechen mit den beiden Aktivistinnen Katharina Oguntoye und Carolyn Gammon über ihre Erfahrungen aus der Frauen-Lesben-Bewegung der 80er und 90er Jahre. Wie kam es zu dem Bruch zwischen den 'Generationen' der Bewegung? Wie hat sich queer-lesbischer und feministischer Aktivismus verändert in den letzten Jahrzehnten? Was wünschen sich die beiden von der heutigen Generation, was schätzen sie an ihr?

Mit Autorin Magda Albrecht sprechen wir über queer-lesbische Texte. Magda berichtet von ihrer Arbeit im Kontext von queer-lesbischem Lesen und empfiehlt uns ihre Lieblingsbücher. Wie findet man überhaupt queer-lesbische Literatur und wovon wollen wir mehr lesen? Wir sprechen über den Zugang zum Lesen, Bücher und Popkultur und natürlich über Fanfiction.

Amy Ray and Emily Saliers met at school before forming femme folk twosome Indigo Girls in 1985. They’ve performed together steadily ever since, providing the soundtrack to sapphic glances across campfire singalongs the world over. In this episode, Drew and Andy take a look at their self-titled LP. Released at a time where queer female voices were scarce, the album became a beacon for the lesbian community, its songs speaking to love, loss and longing. Indigo Girls has since gone on to inspire a number of female artists, queer and otherwise. But did they ever ask to be role models?Our Spotify companion playlist is a little bit country, a little bit rock and roll and a lot of good.

In this conversation, Mary Ann talks with Shuhba Chacko in India and Artemisa Castro in Mexico. They consider together how we might cultivate caring and compassion in our organisations and movements. Shubha Chacko is a joyful activist who has drawn strength, knowledge, and warmth from strong alliances and friendships forged with people from different walks of life. She is the Executive Director of Solidarity Foundation, an NGO that supports grassroots level organisations of gender/sexual minorities (LGBTIAQ+)and sex workers by building collectives, capacities and connections with resources. The broader goal is to enhance leadership of those currently excluded. Solidarity Foundation also works with companies and other organisations on their LGBT journeys. Shubha is also a researcher and has authored books, reports and articles and has been an invited speaker at many national and international conferences. Artemisa Castro is Executive Director of Fondo Acción Solidaria(FASOL) in Mexico. She is also a member of the Global Funders Alliance for Social Environmental Action. A biologist by training, she founded a local organization in Baja California Sur in the 1990s to spark and develop community action both to improve the local social and environmental conditions and to empower local women. This led to her collaboration with a group of other environmental activists and ultimately to the founding of FASOL in 2007, the first fund in Mexico dedicated to supporting grassroots community action through a programme of small grants, mentorship, capacity building and networking. Artemisa's dog also makes a special appearance in this episode! This episode is part of a special series of conversations entitled - Embodying Change: A series of conversations on care and compassion in Aid and Development curated by Mary Ann Clements and Melissa Pitotti and in partnership with CHS Alliance, Global Fund for Community Foundations, Healing Solidarity and Change Making Women Podcast.

Episode twice-the-number-which-must-not-be-spoken (i.e. sixteen) takes us inside the Church of Om for a story of faith, religion and truth as we're joined by the Reverend Doctor Avril Hannah-Jones to discuss the 1992 Discworld novel, Small Gods! Brutha is a lowly novice in the Omnian Citadel, dismissed by his superiors as a simpleton whose only notable talent is an extraordinary memory. He's the last person expecting to hear the Voice of the Great God Om, though Brutha has his doubts: Om is supposed to manifest as a mighty golden bull or pillar of flame, not a one-eyed tortoise. Om's not happy either: this isn't how he planned his return from the celestial realm, and no-one but Brutha can hear him. Before god or novice can figure out what's happening, Brutha is recruited by Deacon Vorbis - head of the feared Quisition - for a mission to nearby Ephebe: a nation of heretics, democracy and philosophers, one of whom has dared to pen a treatise describing the world as a flat disc which travels through space on the back of a turtle... One of the few truly standalone Discworld novels, Small Gods focuses on how humans of the Disc create gods, rather than the other way round - for good and for ill. Drawing on the best and worst traditions of monotheism, Galileo's defiance in the face of Catholic censure, and big philosophical questions, Small Gods still manages to be full of Pratchett's trademark humour and humanism, and a long-time favourite for many fans. Do you rate it amongst the best Discworld novels? Would you recommend someone start with it? We'd love to hear from you! Use the hashtag #Pratchat16 on social media to join the conversation. It's been a big year already for the Pratchat crew: we've launched our subscription service - a huge thank you to all our supporters! - and Liz and Ben will be appearing at both Speculate 2019 in mid-March, and Nullus Anxietas 7, the Australian Discworld Convention, in mid-April! Plus Ben will be performing a new show, You Chose Poorly, at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival from April 1-7. Next month it's back to the Ramtops as the witches return home in Lords and Ladies with writer, critic and editor Nadia Bailey! ! We're recording that episode hot on the heels of this one's release, so get your questions in via social media before February 16th using the hashtag #Pratchat17. Show Notes and Errata: The Reverend Doctor Avril Hannah-Jones is a Minister in the Uniting Church and an all-round wonderful human being. Always a geek, Avril rose to fame in 2011 via Adam Hills' ABC comedy show In Gordon Street Tonight with the foundation of the Church of the Latter Day Geek, which for some reason got more attention than any of the work she has done advocating for LGBTIAQ rights or asylum seekers. Avril also appeared in the Seven/Religion episode of Splendid Chaps (mostly in part two, but you may also want to listen to part one), and on Doctor Who and the Episodes of Death. You can read about her adventures at her blog, Rev Doc Geek, follow her on Twitter at @DocAvvers, or head along to a Sunday service at Williamstown Uniting Church.The film Highlander (dir. Russell Mulcahy, 1986) stars Christopher Lambert as Connor MacLeod, the titular highlander, who discovers he is one of the immortals - seemingly ordinary humans who cannot die unless decapitated, and who are drawn to fight each other, stealing the magical power of other immortals whom they defeat until only one remains to collect "the Prize". As well as being very 1980s, it has a killer soundtrack by Queen, songs from which can be found on their 1986 album It's a Kind of Magic.We're pretty sure the cake Liz is thinking of is Breudher, a delicious buttery Sri Lankan cake with a Dutch influence. Teen Power Inc. is a series of thirty books written by Australian author Emily Rodda (and others), first published in the 1990s. They feature six teenaged protagonists who create the titular agency to make some extra cash,

Back in 2002, I looked great on paper and people generally thought I was doing everything right for a first-time college student.  As most of us know, those struggling learn to hide their problems and I was no different.  I was unable to be alone for any significant amount of time and I had just lost my main supporters to a work move.  To fill the space, I tried jumping into the LGBTIAQ community as a Cis, heterosexual, guy.  While this led to some successful allyship, it did not meet my needs or address my problems.  Distraction and avoidance can work for a long time, but in my experience problems catch up eventually and I found how limited I am taking care of others when I am unable to care for myself.  Take a listen to the whole story above. 

It is July already, but we are still celebrating PRIDE. As a kick-off to our series of interviews with LGBTIAQ* folks in academia (stay tuned), Heather, Elizabeth and Beatrice introduce you to the topic and share some valuable advice on how to be an ally. Grab chocolate, sit back, relax. And: STAY NASTY!
