Jahrelang hinterfragte Südafrikas Präsident Thabo Mbeki den Zusammenhang von HIV und AIDS und zweifelte den Nutzen antiretroviraler Medikamente an. Das hatte furchtbare Konsequenzen und kostete Hunderttausende Menschen das Leben. Die HIV-Aktivistin Sibongile Tshabalala erzählt an ihrem eigenen Beispiel, was das für die Bevölkerung bedeutete. Forscher Salim Abdool Karim und die Autoren Pieter Fourie und Mark Gevisser erklären wie es zu der Katastrophe kam, warum Mbeki auf AIDS-Leugner hörte und was die Welt daraus lernen kann.

This week, our hosts had as special guest the renowned queer journalist and author of The Pink Line, Mark Gevisser. Then, they dissect the recent surge in right-wing voting within the LGBT+ community, followed by an analysis of this year's Eurovision Song Contest, which has seen unprecedented levels of queer representation alongside notable political controversies. Additionally, they delve into the bids for EuroPride 2027 and explore the socio-economic ramifications of the event. At last, they offer their top picks of queer cinema and television available for streaming nowadays.

Thanks for clicking play on this episode of Pagecast. In today's chat, Mark Gevisser, editor of 'The Revolution Will Not Be Litigated,' is in conversation with activists Mark Heywood and Kumi Naidoo, two of the contributors to the book. Written from the maxim “it takes a lawyer, an activist, and a storyteller to change the world", The Revolution Will Not Be Litigated shows how the law and social movements can reinforce each other in the struggle for justice and freedom. In these vibrant narratives, 25 of the world's most accomplished movement lawyers and activists become storytellers, reflecting on their experiences at the frontlines of some of the most significant struggles of our time. In an era where human rights are under threat, their words offer both an inspiration and a compass for the way movements can use the law – and must sometimes break it – to bring about social justice. The contributors here take you into their worlds: Jennifer Robinson frantically orchestrating a protest outside London's Ecuadorean embassy to prevent the authorities from arresting her client Julian Assange; Justin Hansford at the barricades during the protests over the murder of Black teenager Mike Brown in Ferguson, Missouri; Ghida Frangieh in Lebanon's detention centres trying to access arrested protestors during the 2019 revolution; Pavel Chikov defending Pussy Riot and other abused prisoners in Russia; Ayisha Siddiqa, a shy Pakistani immigrant, discovering community in her new home while leading the 2019 youth climate strike in Manhattan; Greenpeace activist Kumi Naidoo on a rubber dinghy in stormy Arctic seas contemplating his mortality as he races to occupy an oil rig. The stories in The Revolution Will Not Be Litigated capture the complex, and often-awkward dance between legal reform and social change. They are more than compelling portraits of fascinating lives and work, they are revelatory: of generational transitions; of epochal change and apocalyptic anxiety; of the ethical dilemmas that define our age; and of how one can make a positive impact when the odds are stacked against you in a harsh world of climate crisis and ruthless globalization.

¿Te has preguntado por qué en algunas partes del mundo las personas LGBTIQ+ gozan de muchas libertades y derechos mientras en otras son sentenciadas a muerte por ser quienes son? Las personas LGBTIQ+ vivimos distintas realidades alrededor del mundo. Desde países europeos donde las cosas iban bien pero ahora hay retrocesos, hasta países africanos donde ser tú misme puede costarte la vida. Angel, Akiko y Ricardo charlaron con Mark Gevisser, autor del libro La Línea Rosa donde se analizan las fronteras del reconocimiento de la diversidad sexual y las amenazas que se viven ante gobiernos autoritarios, iglesias y movimientos antiderechos.

A lack of legal protection in many parts of the world leaves many transgender employees vulnerable. Few countries offer legal protection against discrimination of transgender people. This week is transgender awareness week - what role do companies play in the rights of transgender people? Manuela Saragosa speaks to Caroline Paige, joint chief executive of a UK pressure group called Fighting with Pride. In 1999 she became the first transgender officer to transition openly while serving in the UK Armed Forces, some 19 years after she’d first joined the Royal Air Force as a pilot. South African author of The Pink Line, Mark Gevisser describes the fight to get laws to protect transgender people from discrimination as a new culture war along a human rights frontier. He says one of the most significant markers is which countries allow people to legally change their gender on official documents. Manuela also speaks to Lily Zheng who is a diversity consultant to businesses and organisations and is herself transgender and to Thai university lecturer Kath Khangpiboon, living and working as a woman in Thailand although official documents only recognise her as male.

Yes, it's youth day. No, Sue did not do the show today, but not to worry, we still have a great reading matters podcast for you! From Sue: “I chatted to author extraordinaire, Mark Gevisser, about several books he’s reviewed on plagues, pandemics and epidemics, written between 1948 and 2019, published both locally and internationally. “Causes for them and our Covid-19 crisis, range from the agricultural revolution which required formerly nomadic humans to live in settlements, to climate change, jet-set travel and wet wildlife markets. The dangers we face from disease can be attributed to our own success as the human species, said Mark. Go to www.markgevisser.com for his book list. “I reviewed, SILVER (Headline), by acclaimed international crime writer, Chris Hammer and whilst I enjoyed it, unfortunately it doesn’t match his first scorcher, Scrublands. “The 2020 Women’s Prize for Fiction shortlist (formerly the Orange Prize) includes Hilary Mantel’s, The Mirror & the Light (Jonathan Ball). I’m betting she wins it as well as the 2020 Booker Prize for Fiction.” This episode originally aired on MILLER TIME RADIO- 28 April, 2020 --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/millertimemedia/support

Gender identity is considered more fluid than ever because of the success of the trans movement. But most trans people, just like everyone else, still identify as either a man or a women. For those who feel they are neither – or both – the male/female distinction does not fit. And for the one in 2000 who are born with indeterminate sex, finding a place in this binary world can be damaging. We hear from Dr Imran Mushtaq, who works with intersex children at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London; bi-gender vlogger Brin Convenient; Tamara Adrian, Venezuela's first transgender congresswomen (who wants gender erased from official forms); and the writer Mark Gevisser. This programme is part of the World Service Identity Season. (Photo: Transgender transsexual concept. Credit: Thinkstock by Getty Images)
