NeprocjenjivA – NeprocjenjivA

Sad sam Queer, Moćna i Slobodna

Once upon a time… I wish I could start the introduction with these words. Unfortunately, religious abuse and loosing family members are still realities for many LGBTIQ+ people to this day. Still, it does get better and we have better opportunities to come out and be free, more then ever. Lucija tells her story of how she lost and gained and how she discovered herself, her emotions and her identity.

A big thank you to all the people that supported and support this podcast financially as well as Reformed Churches Bern-Jura-Solothurn, Switzerland, and Die Schwelle.

Queer Katolička Teologinja iz Bosne – Ljudi osjećaju veliku bol

Podcast EU

Discrimination in the Balkans is still very high. This is true for many eastern-European countries. This is why it’s often so hard to find people from the east as quests for the podcast. Fortunately, I came across Tanja, who is from Bosnia and Herzegovina. She is doing her PhD in Austria on the topic of LGBTIQ+ Catholics in Bosnia and Herzegovina. She is the first theologian in the SE European region doing her PhD on the LGBTIQ+ topic. In her study she came across a lot of pain and discrimination, but she still has hope for the future.

AromantičnaAseksualna – Vrijedim, Jaka sam, Ponosna

Podcast EU, Uncategorized

Many minorities, but also others (like women) know what it’s like to experience disrespect. There are constantly new groups of people who go through that experience, even from those who went through the same hardships. Of course, behind that, there is often fear, misinformation and prejudice. It is not different for ARO-ACE people. Elin tells her story of figuring our her orientation when she was 37 years old. She tells us what she went through as a person, believer, pastor and how she found pride in her identities.

LINKS ELIN SUGGESTED:

The books I learnt about asexuality & aromanticism are:
“The Invisible Orientation” by Julie Sondra Decker (2014)
“ACE” by Angela Chen (2020)
(The book ACE actually has a chapter focused on asexual people of faith, and also on being asexual and a man.)

The international forum and community for asexual people:
AVEN – The Asexual Visibility and Education Network on the website: contains a lot of information about what asexuality is, communities around the world and also has a discussion forum where you can get in touch with others.
The web forum for aromantic people I mentioned.
But there is also this online community: AUREA – Aromantic Spectrum Union for Recognition, Education and Adovacy – which has the website

Tv series that I mentioned is Netflix’ Heartstopper which is created by aroace author Alice Oseman.

Another book that wasn’t mentioned in the episode but I really recommend: Alice Oseman – “Loveless” where the main character Georgia is trying to figure out her identity and realises she is aroace.

People to follow on Instagram to learn more about asexual & aromantic people:
@acedadadvice (who is also on YouTube and is coming out with a book soon – he’s gay and asexual)
@theyasminbenoit – Yasmine Benoit is an aroace activist from Great Britain who is making awareness for example by creating the hashtag on Instagram #thisiswhatasexuallookslike and being an activist working together with Stonewall UK. She’s for example trying to spread awareness that asexual people also should be included in the ban against conversion therapy.

Queers of the world on YouTube (as you know) has a few amazing interviews with asexual & aromantic people. For example one from Estonia and one who is from Poland, and Sweden. 🙂

Biti Gay, Rastavljen, Umirovljen Pastor

Podcast EU, Uncategorized

Paul’s story is heartbreaking but full of optimism at the same time. Living in a time where being gay was absolutely taboo. He was pastoring people through the AIDS crisis. As a pastor he was in search of how to put his passion for ministry into practice and be openly gay. But his passion for ministry had a cost. One being his marriage. Paul tells his story with such honesty and vulnerability. He lives his truth and shares it with all of us with an optimism that can only be described as inspirational.

Četrdeset godina zajedno – Ljubav je malo gore, malo dolje

Podcast EU, Projekt Neprocjenjiva

Relationships are a fragile thing. At the same time, they can be such a big resource of inspiration and strength. As my guests said ‘Love is a roller coaster.’ It is beautiful, but not always easy. Sometimes we need to keep in mind that there is an amazing view, once we manage to climb the mountain. But, of course, there are certain qualities relationships need to sustain. Respect, an open hand and some friends along the way. Unfortunately, there is no recipe for a long-lasting relationship, but hearing someones story can be a huge encouragement and inspiration.

Tko su Rainbow Pilgrims of Faith?

Podcast EU, Uncategorized

The World Council of Churches is a world fellowship of churches. Many of those are still very conservative and not near any inclusion of many people on the margins. This includes LGBTIQ people. An international group is dedicating their time and energy that the voices of LGBTIQ people are heard within this fellowship. Every 7 to 8 years an international conference takes place where this group, called Rainbow Pilgrims of faith try to get closer to the delegates of different churches, share stories and invite them to different happenings. This episodes brings the work of those people closer to you.

Nisam Napustio Crkvu, Istjeran sam

Podcast EU

Moram priznati, imam pozitivnu predrasudu prema razvijenim zemljama da je LGBT+ osobama lako. Pričajući s ljudima iz tih zemalja posvjestilo me da to nije istina. Oliver priča o svojoj procesu prihvaćanja sebe kao trans osobe. Priča o svojim fizicičkim i psihičkim izazovima te svojem iskustvu i boli koju mu je nanijela crkva. Iako je već iskusio djelomično iscjeljenje, još uvijek se bori s unutarnjim glasovima prošlosti.

BOOK SUGGESTION: Bad Theology Kills by Kevin Miguel Garcia

Predsjednica Sinode – Crkva će se Promijeniti

Podcast EU

Gledajući što se događa unutar Katoličke vrkve, lako se možemo osjećati obeshrabreno. Čini se da se nikada neće promijeniti. Iako ima nekog napretka, izgleda da se i vraća unazad. Razgovarajući s prvom ženom koja je predsjednica sinode u Zuriche me ohrabrilo zbog nekoliko razloga. Prvi je vidjeti da je žena na vrhu vijeća. Drugi, bori se na više fronti za prava raznih ljudi. No, pokazuje na da crkva može biti drugačija i da je crkvi moguće promijeniti se i da se može maknuti iz starog sustava hijerarhijskog funkcioniranja Rimokatoličke crkve. Ona je glas diskriminiranih i zauzima se za pravedniju crkvu s podjeljenom moći.

Biti Interspolna osoba – Nemati Pravo na Izbor

Podcast EU

Prije nego što počnem pisati o samom potkastu, želim podijeliti koliko sam bio taknut za vrijeme cijelog intervjua. Small Luk, njena ranjivost pri dijeljenju svoje priče, njenog iskustva i motivacije da bi pomogla interspolnim osoboma širom svijeta je insprirajuća. Teško mi je vjerovati da će ijedna osoba ostati ravnodušna. Small ulazi u dubinu detalja onogo što je doživjela kao interspolna osoba i u tome kako se osjeća što su drugi donosili udluku o tome to će biti. Preporučam vam da pogledate punu verziju s obzirom da će te čuti samo dio priče onoga što je prošla te doživjeti samo dio emocije i dubine u koje ulazi.
