Giti Thadani: “A Global Conversation on Faith and LGBT Needs to Begin Opening Up to Complex Questions”
In the fourth episode of our LGBT & Faith audio series, refugee rights activist Mahi Ramakrishnan reads an essay by Giti Thadani, researcher, writer, visual artist, and a founding member of the first Indian lesbian archive, Sakhi.
Giti's essay explores Hinduism and its thousand-year-old non-binary traditions and how its dual deities of the same sex reverberate and guide us today.
Mahi is reading Giti's essay from a blog series curated by the Global Online Forum on LGBT* and Faith, a program held in 2020 by the Salzburg Global LGBT* Forum.
To make these experiences and reflections more accessible, Salzburg Global and ILGA Asia have partnered to transform each blog into an audio feature.
Salzburg Global LGBT* Forum and ILGA Asia will release one episode every three weeks. Please subscribe to the Salzburg Global LGBT* Forum Newsletter to receive updates and be notified when new episodes are available.

*LGBT: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender. Salzburg Global Seminar is using this term as it is currently widely used in human rights conversations on sexual orientation and gender identity in many parts of the world, and we would wish it to be read as inclusive of other cultural concepts, contemporary or historical, to express sexuality and gender, intersex and gender non-conforming identities.
