S05E05 - Queer life in Gaza

About this episode

The episode features a conversation with a young Palestinian LGBTQ activist discussing life in Gaza amidst war and conservative values.

Of course we discussed hamas, Zionism, the Free Palestine movement in the West (specially the LGBTQ bandwagon), antisemitism and other matters where we don't agree but we felt it was a great opportunity and worth the tension even though we didn't have all the time we wanted and needed. We still hope this experience ignites and inspires more conversations.
