Queer And?

Youth Pride Network
Queer And?

Being queer isn’t a full stop. Our queerness intersects with other parts of our identity in unique, exciting, and challenging ways. That’s why we invited *the* most iconic queer powerhouses to unpack the heavy baggage, confront the social forces that shape them and advocate for bolder policies. We’re brewing a new season with spicier conversations, so subscribe and stay tuned!  About us: Youth Pride Network is the peak systemic advocacy body to elevate the voices of young LGBTIQA+ people in Western Australia's decision making. This podcast was recorded on Whadjuk Noongar Boodjar and we wish to acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as traditional custodians of this land, its waters, and its communities. We acknowledge and pay respect to Elders past, present, and future as sovereign leaders. Sovereignty was never ceded. This always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.  Hosted on Acast.

    EPISODE 1

    Queer and Belonging

    And just like that, we're back for a brand new season! To feel safe, to feel seen, to feel like you’re belong somewhere – unfortunately is a luxury that not all queer peeps can afford to experience. But what happen when these queer individuals also belong to an ethnic or cultural minority, which further complicate their sense of belonging – or the lack thereof?  To unpack this big and thorny topic, we have: - MJ (they/them) is YPN's Aboriginal Outreach & Project Officer, who's leading the pioneering 'Pride Yarns with Mob' initiative🖤💛❤️ They're also a drag performer superstar and currently on tour in Melbourne😎 - Lukasz or Luki (he/him) is Vice Chancellor's Research Fellow at ECU, and previously the founder of The Rainbow Migrants💫 He's also in the process of setting up Pride Intergenerational Housing and ECU Rainbow Migrants Observatory🔭🏘️ What are you waiting for? Dive in for 45 minutes of intersectional goodness and lots of laughter too✨ Acknowledgement of Country We'd like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we work, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and their continuing connection to land, waters, sea, sky and community.   YPN is based in Boorloo, on Noongar Boodjar and we acknowledge the Whadjuk people of the Noongar Nation who are the traditional custodians of this land. We pay our respects to elders past and present. Sovereignty was never ceded. This always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
