Manage episode 372506594 series 3458152
In the premiere episode of season 2 of The Unapologaytic Podcast, Pierre interviews Jason Jones @trinijayjay, a Human Rights and LGBTQ+ activist who fought and won a legal battle to decriminalise homosexuality in Trinidad & Tobago. Jason talks about the need for unity within the LGBTQ+ community, the harm caused by internalised homophobia, transphobia and racism, and the importance of inspired activism that seeks to build bridges and understand the perspectives of others.
Jason recounts the moment when he decided to take legal action against the Trinidad & Tobago government's laws criminalising homosexuality, and the sense of responsibility he felt as a mixed-race Caribbean man with dual citizenship. He also discusses the need to continue the work of advocacy even after legal victories, to ensure that lasting change is achieved.
The interview highlights the importance of taking action to fight for LGBTQ+ rights and the need for unity and acceptance within the community to achieve lasting change. The Unapologaytic Podcast aims to explore Queer Culture as a whole and raise awareness about LGBTQ+ issues in a light hearted way — whenever possible…
