I really love this podcast and as someone who’s been out to friends and some family for years but not to my parents I appreciated what Yasmin said about “why do we need to come out” to just exist and if you see me being me than that’s exactly it and keep pushing. Pretty sure they’ve known too. It’s def the fear of being rejected by my very Dominican parents who I know love me but the way my brain goes to worse case scenario always is a work in progress lol. Loved what was shared and said by all of you today 💖💜💙!!!
I have teared multiple times during this episode it’s definitely one of my favorite. as an arab lesbian whos living in the middle east, in the arab community there are still a lot of controversy around being queer and living in middle east means you’re going to see someone whod wish the worst upon you, at least once a day, without knowing anything about you just because you’re queer and it could even be parents or close people in your life and the hate is so fcking normalized its scary. but alycia was right, hearing your stories does give me so much hope thank you for sharing them
