96 LGBTQ+ in Uganda - All We Want is Dignity (SHORT)

It was a nice Journey, but it seems it has come to an end. Thank you all for listening and watching! Who knows, maybe one day there will be more episodes coming. For now I say goodbye.

In the third part of our synodal webinar series, we discuss vulnerabilites of LGBTI+ people and various ways how the church cares for them. In the recording of the webinar you can hear 4 powerful testimonies from people caring for those in need and sharing the Good News. 2 of the speakers have to protect their identity though, as their exposure might bring them and their work in danger in their countries of East Africa. As one of the speakers points to an interesting paradox: there are several Christian humanitarian organizations working in the refugee camps in Africa and they take care of refugees fleeing from another country precisely because of the church's attitudes towards LGBTI+ persons.

Members of the EF's Roman Catholic Church Working Group continue their work in support of visibility of LGBTI+ Catholics during the Synod, where Pope Francis is trying to bring the Church closer to the people. The Synodal Project Group of the RCC WG works together with global partners to collect Synodal experiences to ensure voices of LGBTI+ persons are being heard in this historic process in the global Catholic Church. For the spring of 2024 we have prepared a series of public webinars, where we want to talk with experts on selected topics such as the relevance of the Synodal Journey, the recognition of and blessings of same-sex couples (especially after Fiducia Supplicans), the unity of love and truth, and understanding the worldwide vulnerabilities of LGBTI+ people. In the first edition of the synodal webinar series on the 17th of February we had great speakers representing various experiences in the synod to discuss "The relevance of the Synodal process for LGBTI+ people". The audio recording of the initial part of the webinar will enable you to hear the views of the 3 speakers as well as the response from the activist.

Many people flee their countries for their safety, but are we aware what it entails. We are prone to only think about safety and are not aware of all the other components of basic human needs that aren't being met. The need for companionship, to be accepted, to be seen and listened, and first and foremost to BELONG. Yaya takes these challenges with optimism but not without its toll. Find out what it is like for LGBTIQ+ people in Myanmar, why she left her country and ended up in Sweden, how this affected her hopes and dreams and of course, how she came to accept herself in the first place.

Being authentic is not always easy. In the past, it was even harder to be. For Ricardo, it took time to accept himself and be who he is. Growing up in church that meant a great deal to him, he learned that being gay is a sin. Of course, he isn't the only one. Many of us have experienced this kind of hardship. But many of us, just like Ricardo, have risen from the ashed, embraced who we are and are doing our best to live an authentic life. Our stories can now be told and hopfully those can encourage others and let them know, life can really get better.
