Andre Afamasaga on Sexual identity in the Pacific
Update: 2021-02-16
Description
Welcome to this episode of our podcast, newly named “Pacific Toks - A conversation on the Future of the Pacific” where I talk to leaders from the Pacific or around the world to have a look at the current challenges the Pacific is facing or will face in the Future.
In today’s episode, I’m very happy to welcome Andre Afamasaga, from New Zealand.
Andre is a human rights advocate currently working for the New Zealand Human Rights Commission. Before that he was a Christian Pastor. And in the end of 2019, Andre got on the news after publishing an opinion piece titled: “Gay, Christian and a former preacher, I'm coming out to help anyone hurt by Folau” following some public declarations made by the rugby player Israel Folau.
Listen to our conversation on the situation of LGBTQI+ in the Pacific, the role of the religions to foster diversity and inclusion and how to mix traditions and modernity around the questions of identity in the Pacific.
