"This Arab is Queer" (w/ Elias Jahshan)

George is joined by journalist Elias Jahshan, editor of the anthology "This Arab is Queer." Elias was born in Australia to a Palestinian father and a Lebanese mother. He tells George about breaking stereotypes, explains the meaning of 'pinkwashing' and how LGBTQ+ rights discourse is being weaponized, especially in the context of the Israeli occupation in Palestine. Together they discuss the power of words when it comes to Gaza, as well as the importance of global solidarity. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
