Victor Ciobotaru: “The More I Prayed, the More I Became Aware That I Am Gay and I Will Never Change”


Listen Later

In the 13th episode of our LGBT & Faith audio series, Victor Ciobotaru, a young Romanian pastor-to-be describes how LGBT Christians reach out to him even while their churches deny their existence. 

Victor, who also shares his own journey, is reading his 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.
