hi everyone!! in this episode, we sat down with Inaya Siddiqui, a junior from the Bay Area to talk about her experiences with homophobia and how it is to be LGBTQ+ in the Desi community, where (as a result of colonialism) homophobic environments tend to be more prevalent. being an ally and making a safe space to those that may be struggling to come out or be comfortable with their sexuality is just as important, and we all need to be working on ways we can do that. as always, we love you, and be sure to follow us on instagram (@browngirlbanter_) for more info on upcoming podcast release dates, resources to educate yourself on important issues, or to dm us with any topics you'd like us to discuss, or with any feedback you'd like to give! we hope you loved listening as much as we did recording❤️
