Ranjivost LGBTI+ osoba u procesu – Webinar o sinodalnom procesu 3. dio

Govori, Podcast EU, Predavanja, Uncategorized

In the third part of our synodal webinar series, we discuss vulnerabilites of LGBTI+ people and various ways how the church cares for them. In the recording of the webinar you can hear 4 powerful testimonies from people caring for those in need and sharing the Good News. 2 of the speakers have to protect their identity though, as their exposure might bring them and their work in danger in their countries of East Africa. As one of the speakers points to an interesting paradox: there are several Christian humanitarian organizations working in the refugee camps in Africa and they take care of refugees fleeing from another country precisely because of the church’s attitudes towards LGBTI+ persons.

Trans Žena iz Myanmara – Izabrala Sam Sigurnost

Podcast EU, Projekt Neprocjenjiva, Uncategorized

Many people flee their countries for their safety, but are we aware what it entails. We are prone to only think about safety and are not aware of all the other components of basic human needs that aren’t being met. The need for companionship, to be accepted, to be seen and listened, and first and foremost to BELONG. Yaya takes these challenges with optimism but not without its toll. Find out what it is like for LGBTIQ+ people in Myanmar, why she left her country and ended up in Sweden, how this affected her hopes and dreams and of course, how she came to accept herself in the first place.

Gay u Portugalu – Svi bi trebali biti autentični

Podcast EU, Projekt Neprocjenjiva, Uncategorized

Being authentic is not always easy. In the past, it was even harder to be. For Ricardo, it took time to accept himself and be who he is. Growing up in church that meant a great deal to him, he learned that being gay is a sin. Of course, he isn’t the only one. Many of us have experienced this kind of hardship. But many of us, just like Ricardo, have risen from the ashed, embraced who we are and are doing our best to live an authentic life. Our stories can now be told and hopfully those can encourage others and let them know, life can really get better.

You probably heard about the situation in Uganda. People are being imprisoned, tortured and killed for being LGBTIQ+.

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.

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.

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.
