96 LGBTQ+ in Uganda - All We Want is Dignity (SHORT)

You probably heard about the situation in Uganda. People are being imprisoned, tortured and killed for being LGBTIQ+. I'm talking to Pastor Ram who is gay and a non-binary person, who had to flee Uganda to save their life. They are continuing their work of raising awareness and helping LGBTIQ+ homeless people, refugees in East-African countries. Ram is sharing his story, what is happening in Uganda and what they are doing to help LGBTIQ+ people.

92 Spiritual and Religious Trauma - Healing is Out There (SHORT)

92 Spiritual and Religious Trauma - Healing is Out There (SHORT)

Have you ever asked your self if you suffer from spiritual or religious trauma? As dr. Jamie Marich says, if you asked your self, you probably have. Dr. Jamie Marich talks about what spiritual and religious trauma is, how you can recognise it and what you can do. We also talked about what parents and churches can do about it even if you can't afford therapy or you don't have access to someone who could help you. If you have experiences something like "conversion therapy" you are probably certain about your trauma, but what about the rest of us who still suffered as part of the institutions and faith communities? Microaggressions, as dr. Marich says, also cut deep, especially when they are repeated. Often the harm done by churches hasn't been done just by the institutions, but by our families too. Still, there is hope and healing is out there!

84 AROACE - I'm Valid, I'm Strong, I'm Proud (SHORT)

Many minorities, but also others (like women) know what it's like to experience disrespect. There are constantly new groups of people who go through that experience, even from those who went through the same hardships. Of course, behind that, there is often fear, misinformation and prejudice. It is not different for ARO-ACE people. Elin tells her story of figuring our her orientation when she was 37 years old. She tells us what she went through as a person, believer, pastor and how she found pride in her identities.

LINKS ELIN SUGGESTED:

The books I learnt about asexuality & aromanticism are:  
“The Invisible Orientation” by Julie Sondra Decker (2014)
“ACE” by Angela Chen (2020)  
(The book ACE actually has a chapter focused on asexual people of faith, and also on being asexual and a man.)

The international forum and community for asexual people:
AVEN - The Asexual Visibility and Education Network on the website:  contains a lot of information about what asexuality is, communities around the world and also has a discussion forum where you can get in touch with others.  
The web forum for aromantic people I mentioned.
But there is also this online community: AUREA - Aromantic Spectrum Union for Recognition, Education and Adovacy - which has the website

Tv series that I mentioned is Netflix’ Heartstopper which is created by aroace author Alice Oseman.

Another book that wasn’t mentioned in the episode but I really recommend: Alice Oseman - “Loveless” where the main character Georgia is trying to figure out her identity and realises she is aroace.

People to follow on Instagram to learn more about asexual & aromantic people:
@acedadadvice (who is also on YouTube and is coming out with a book soon - he’s gay and asexual)
@theyasminbenoit - Yasmine Benoit is an aroace activist from Great Britain who is making awareness for example by creating the hashtag on Instagram #thisiswhatasexuallookslike and being an activist working together with Stonewall UK. She’s for example trying to spread awareness that asexual people also should be included in the ban against conversion therapy.

Queers of the world on YouTube (as you know) has a few amazing interviews with asexual & aromantic people. For example one from Estonia and one who is from Poland, and Sweden. :)
