PrideCast: Voices of Diversity

A look back and our thank-you.

What is "gaydar"? In the last episode of this season of PrideCast, we talk with Floyd about how do queer individuals navigate the balance between signaling their identity and maintaining safety in environments that may not be accepting? This season of PrideCast was made possible by the YSEALI Summit Grants and the US Embassy in Jakarta. Our first season has come to the end. Until next season, please keep embracing diversity and spreading kindness.

Are all drag queens gay or transgender? PrideCast is made possible by the YSEALI Summit Grants and the US Embassy in Jakarta.

"What does the concept of the 'LGBTQ+ community' mean to you, and do you believe it accurately represents the diversity within?" Tune in to this week episode with our special guest, Dieu Anh from Vietnam to hear their answer on this intriguing question.

“Queer people should all be out and proud” What do you think about that? What are the personal and societal factors that influence an individual's decision to come out or remain private about their LGBTQ+ identity? In this episode, we have Samnang from Cambodia. Currently, Samnang is a member of the United Nations Youth Advisory Panel (UNYAP), where they always strive to raise the voice and  challenges of LGBTIQ+ people. Samnang is also a Young Key Popluations Representative in responding to the HIV/AIDS and STDs prevention and treatment.

In this episode, joined us in the topic of "love", we have Rebecca from Thailand. Rebecca is the cofounder of We Are Humans and also a YSEALI and Global UGRAD alumni.

Sex and gender is one thing? This episode was made possible by the YSEALI Summit Grants and the US Embassy in Jakarta. Stay tuned for our next episode, where we'll continue to explore the stories that connect us all. Until then, keep embracing diversity and spreading kindness.
