Within the UK, the hostile environment and xenophobic attitudes exacerbate the issues queer refugees and asylum seekers face - with reports of individuals having to “prove” their sexuality within a hostile legal system. Moud Goba 🏳️‍🌈 Micro Rainbow Nancy Kelley Reeta Loi

.@Reetaloi says LGBTQIA+ people and rights are not safe around the world. 67 countries still criminalise same-sex partnerships and LGBTQIA+ people. 11 countries can or do impose the death penalty for same-sex intimacy.

Very excited to share my talk & performance with you on 'Why your weakness is your SuperPower' with music composed by Jeia and performed by gnarly
