The Challenge of Homophobia in Malaysia - Ep. 11 (LGBT Policies, Religion, Seeking Asylum)

Update: 2021-09-11

Description

Due to state-sponsored anti-LGBT rhetoric and actively encouraged homophobic sentiments in Malaysia, my friend Dienta was pushed to seek for asylum in the US, where she is studying. This episode is an exploration of her life and the struggles she has faced because of her sexual orientation and her nationality, from being targeted online and having her scholarship revoked to strenuous personal relationships.
