In the Gulf States, penalties for queer acts can include imprisonment, deportation, torture and even death. Yet the region is dominated by migrants, including queer migrants, who make a deliberate decision to move there.
One such migrant is telling their stories, including where queer people are not just surviving, but thriving. Gaar Adams is the author of a recently released book titled, ‘Guest privileges, queer lives and finding home in the Middle East’.

The term ‘transgender’ is a modern concept. Only in the last thirty years or so has it gained wide-ranging acceptance, but this is where the name and the lived reality part ways. Transgender people by different names have been around for all time, including in imperial China.
Matthew Sommer is a professor of history at Stanford University and has scoured court records in China to uncover trans-people who, despite the hardships for many, were able to find a place in Chinese society. He details their stories in his new book, ‘The Fox Spirit, The Stone Maiden and Other Transgender Histories From Late Imperial China’,

Do you ever lament the queer scene? Feel it’s not quite what it used to be? Do you feel there are fewer gay bars? The trend of gay bars closing is a worldwide phenomenon. Is it the death knell of queer nightlife, or merely a sign of reinvention? One person who is fascinated by the changes and what it means for the queer community is Amin Ghaziani, professor of sociology at the University of British Columbia and author of a new book, ‘Long live queer nightlife: how the closing of gay bars sparked a revolution’.

Many queer people struggle to reconcile their religion with their sexuality. There just aren’t many accepting and inclusive religions. Queer Muslims are no exception. In Egypt, even though there is no explicit law against same-sex sexual acts, there are widespread reports of discrimination and even violence against LGBTQIA+ people.
Abdurahman Katamish is an Egyptian-born LGBT advocate, who moved to Melbourne seeking a more inclusive environment. In Egypt, he cofounded an underground organization to support queer individuals, despite the cultural stigmas.

The former Soviet country of Georgia has seen many challenges for the LGBTQIA+ community since the USSR collapsed in 1991. Homophobic politicians, pride march bans and violence.
Now the current ruling party is proposing a bill that could see bans on changing gender, same sex couples from adopting children, and the barring of public celebrations of same-sex relationships. But is this a serious threat, or a preelection storm in a tea cup?
Giorgi Tabagari is the former executive director of Tbilisi Pride. With his long-standing history of activism for LGBTQIA+ rights and visibility in Georgia, he gives us an insight on the impact of the proposed bill and the threat to the LGBTQIA+ community in Georgia.

With Eurovison, one thing is for certain, every year there will be controversy to some degree. This year the argument is over Israel. Elias Jahshan has been working for many years to give queer Arabs a voice. He has collected eighteen stories from queer Arabs in his new book, This Arab is Queer. The current war between Israel and Palestine has collided with Eurovision, leaving some to call for a boycott of Israel. Jahshan gives his perspective on this.

The west African country of Ghana has passed some of the harshest anti-LGBT laws. The country imposes gaol terms for anyone identifying as LGBTQ, anyone who founds LGBTQ groups and members of the public who fail to report anyone who they think is LGBTQ. The only thing stopping these laws is the country’s president. This has triggered an internation push to pressure the president to veto the laws, but so far there’s no sign either way of the president’s next move. Ohotuowo Ogbeche, from global advocacy group Outright International, has conducted research on the impact of Ghana’s anti-LGBT bill.

The mysterious disappearance this week of the leading opposition voice inside Russia is not a surprise to many. Alexei Navalny was an outspoken lawyer, crusading against corruption and dictators. It shows a ruthlessness in dealing with any potential threats inside Russia.
For the LGBT community, there has been an exodus from Russia. The fear the outcomes of Russia’s expanding anti-LGBT propaganda laws, which effectively ban any public mention of same-sex relations, and the demonstrated ruthlessness of the government in dealing with any perceived opposition, mean that leaving is an act of survival. On this podcast, we speak to Executive Director in exile of Coming Out SPB, Aleksandr Voronov.

As the curtain comes down on Melbourne’s annual celebration of Pride, the Midsumma festival, and goes up to the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras – it’s a good time to dissect what Pride today means. Is it a protest, a victory dance over past wrongs, a corporate marketing platform, or just a big party? And how does it change with a world view? The expression of queer Pride differs all over the world and is certainly not always a party.
In this podcast, we hear from international LGBT advocate organisation, Out Right International, on their third annual report on Pride around the world. We will hear from Noel Campbell from the Equality For All Foundation in Jamaica, Nadine Smith who is the Executive Director of Equality Florida, and more.

There is plenty of literature and scientific studies about so-called gay conversion therapy and it all says the same thing – it doesn’t covert people and it’s not a recognised therapy. Big psychology organisations across the globe oppose it and yet it still continues.
Our guest on this podcast is a journalist and author who felt the need to covertly experience gay conversion therapy in order to write about it. Why people do it, how they get people in, and its dangers. We are joined by Mathias Chaillot, the author of the book 4% In Theory.

The U.S. state of Florida is home to two politicians who have made a sport out of anti-LGBT rhetoric – former President Donald Trump and current Governor Ron DeSantis. The latter has signed into law the “Don’t Say Gay” bill banning teaching of sexual orientation or gender identity and expression in schools. But that is just the start. There are a raft of other bills attacking the LGBTIQ community passed or being proposed.
And the people of Florida seemingly approve. Governor DeSantis was elected with a greatly increased majority at the last election. But there are voices speaking against these changes. Equality Florida is the largest civil rights organization dedicated to securing full equality for Florida’s LGBTQ community. Brandon Wolf, Equality Florida Press Secretary joins us to discuss what is going on in Florida.

A wave of anti-LGBT hate is sweeping across formerly safe western countries – from the UK to Canada, New Zealand and Australia. The amplification of hate across multiple platforms – from blogs to mainstream media or social media – gives it a global audience. Many of the origins appear to be in America. But is it fair to point the finger or has social media just given a platform to a problem that has long been present?
This extremism has been driven by a mix of religion, nationalism, technology, commercialisation of news and sexual politics. Dr Justin Ellis – Senior Lecturer in Criminology at The University of Newcastle - has examined the growth of far-right opposition to LGBTIQ expression in Australia and the US in his research titled: Representation, Resistance and the Digiqueer: Fighting for Recognition in Technocratic Times.

When you woke up this morning, you probably thought about what you had on today – checked the weather, perhaps how you would get to work, perhaps who you would see or what you’ll have for dinner. For our guest tonight, each day started wondering if they would be attacked, imprisoned or even murdered. Each day was a test of survival.
From Uganda to a refugee camp in Kenya and now to a new home in Australia, in this podcast we hear an intensely personal story of Robert Kasozi. Robert who has come to Australia with the help of LGBTIQ charity Humanity in Need, Rainbow Refugees who support refugees in East Africa. Also joining us is David Ayliffe from Humanity in Need.

It’s Eurovision time! It should be a time of wild celebrations, outrageous performances and controversial costumes. But for last year’s winner, it has been anything but that. Ukraine remains in the grips of war. Lives and livelihoods have been lost, homes destroyed and life’s simple pleasures have been replaced by a daily fight for survival.
And the LGBT community is not immune. While some party in Liverpool in the UK, members of Ukraine’s rainbow community have gone to fight or flee to safety. Progress on LGBT rights in Ukraine is on hold. But you will hear first hand in this podcast, the spirit of hope and defiance inside Ukraine as we revisit our chat with the Executive Director of Kyiv Pride, Lenny Emson.

The world of sport has long had an uncomfortable relationship with Trans and Intersex athletes. This continued last week with World Athletics changing its eligibility rules to exclude any female athlete that had gone through male puberty. It also effectively forces unnecessary medical interventions that could cause harm to athletes.
There is no scientific consensus that Trans women have an unfair advantage in sport. Human Rights Watch, who have been campaigning against these types of policies at the elite level for some time, say the policy is built on stereotypes. Their senior researcher, Kyle Knight, joins us in this podcast.

Ever since the AIDS epidemic, it has been understood that the LGBTIQ community has special health needs. Whether it relates to sexual health, mental health or the response to pandemics, the rainbow community has its own way of interrogating and improving health outcomes.
One person who has made the study of LGBTIQ health their life work is Tonda Hughes – Professor at Columbia University and founder of the Centre for Sexual and Gender Minority Health Research. It is the first and only centre of its type to look at health from the perspective of Nursing.

There is no doubt that there is a global attack on Trans people with anti-Trans laws and rhetoric continuing to grow. And if there is a front line, perhaps it is the US state of Texas. Whether it is a bill to remove gender affirming care or political directives to investigate parents for child abuse if they supported their Trans child with transitioning, the Texas parliament is on the attack.
Despite this, our guest in this podcast insists that most Texans are accepting and progress has been made in LGBTIQ rights. But rights won can be rights lost. So Johnathan Gooch is part of the team at Equality Texas fighting against a cavalcade of anti-LGBT laws.

In this podcast we venture to Central Africa and a country we have not visited before in over 11 years on air. In some ways, the Democratic Republic of Congo is more liberal than many African states, yet as we will hear, so many of the LGBTI community’s challenges are similar.
Despite these challenges, another similarity is that there are dedicated and committed champions for the Congolese rainbow community. To share their story, we are joined by Raphaëlle Mutambala, Finance Officer at Rainbow Sunrise Mapambazuko.

The latest display of World Pride has just concluded in Sydney. It was a month of celebrations of all things queer. But life is not all rainbows. There is evil in our ranks. From Emperors to shunned lovers to mass murderers and political leaders, just as there are good gays, there are also Bad Gays.
Some bad gays are easy to find while others require investigation to get to the real story. Researching the stories of these bad gays into a book titled – Bad Gays: A Homosexual History – in this World Wide Wave podcast we are joined by the co-authors and queer history enthusiasts, Ben Miller and Huw Lemmey.

After following Russia, by introducing an anti-gay propaganda law, Hungary is again drawing the ire of the international community. Last year, Hungary’s parliament passed a law making it impossible for transgender or intersex people to legally change their gender. And earlier this month, the country’s Constitutional Court backflipped to back the law.
To find out what the passage of these anti-trans laws means in Hungary and how the LGBTIQ community is responding, we are joined by Luca Dudits, Executive Board member and communications officer at The Hatter Society – Hungary’s oldest LGBTIQ advocacy organisation.

It’s been called an assault on religious minorities, women and LGBT people. A worrying step back for democracy and human rights. And a crackdown on dissent. There are very few, if any, people speaking out in support of the Indonesia’s new criminal code. Yet it passed parliament with the support of almost all political parties.
It contains some direct threats to Indonesia’s LGBT community and also some potentially hidden ones. To guide us through the extensive changes and what they mean, in this podcast we are joined by Tim Lindsey – the Director of the Centre for Indonesian Law, Islam and Society at The University of Melbourne.

There has been an exodus from Russia. Many young men fled the country when conscription for the Ukraine war was announced. But even before that, the LGBT community was on the move fearing the outcomes of Russia’s expanded anti-LGBT propaganda laws. It effectively outlaws any public mention of same-sex relations.
Under the laws, individuals and organisations can receive significant fines for any promotion of “non-traditional sexual relations”. Groups like Coming Out SPB had to leave Russia and set up in friendlier European countries, still determined to continue their work. In this podcast we speak to the Executive Director in exile of Coming Out SPB, Aleksandr Voronov.

Transgender people in Scotland have campaigned for six years to be able to legally change their identity. But the excitement of the laws passing the Scottish parliament were quickly shattered when the English government signalled it would enact a rarely use law to block the change. Trans people are now at the heart of a constitutional fight in the UK.
Before the fight gets caught up in politics, we bring to you a personal view on the genuine outcomes that this law can deliver for Scotland’s Trans community. We are joined by Florence Oulds, the Trans Policy & Public Affairs Officer from Equality Network Scotland.
