Being LGBTQIA+

This episode commemorates Pride Month by bringing together three students from the LGBTQIA+ community to share snippets of their experiences. Maria (India), Temi (Nigeria), and Raphael (Switzerland) join host Dorcas to have an organic conversation about everything from coming out stories to the difference in their experiences here in Japan and their home countries, as well as how heterosexual folks can be better allies to their LGBTQIA+ friends. 今回のエピソードでは、プライド月間を記念して、LGBTQIA+コミュニティから3人の学生が集まり、それぞれの体験談を語ってくれました。マリア（インド）、テミ（ナイジェリア）、ラファエル（スイス）の3人は、ホストのドルカスと一緒に、カミングアウトの話から、日本での経験と母国での経験の違い、異性愛者がLGBTQIA+の友人の味方になるにはどうしたらいいかなど、オーガニックな会話をしています。 Resource on Allyship: https://guidetoallyship.com/ History of Pride Month: https://www.them.us/story/the-complete-history-of-pride Get in touch with us on Instagram or via [email protected] Read our episodes summaries in English and Japanese on Note - Maria’s Contact:  Maria Elizabeth Thomas 6th semester (3rd year) @APU Instagram mariaandhercamera (Freelance Photographer, daughter and average student) - Temi’s Contact:  Temilolu Awofeso 4th semester (2nd year) @APU Instagram nollywood.matcha (Freelance Visual Artist & Writer: temilolu-awofeso.medium.com / Social Media Curator at APU Admissions Unit) - Raphael’s Contact: Raphael Rino Senn 3rd year @APU
