Whiteness norms, racism, and consent

How do norms and expectations impact our freedom to say “yes”, to say “no” and to navigate the gray areas? How freely can we really communicate consent? And how do racism and whiteness norms shape these dynamics, particularly for BIPOC queers? In this episode, our panel – Ken Gacamugani, Purity Tumukwasibwe, and Annelie Spets – delves into these questions in a Pride House discussion. Our focus in this episode is on challenges faced by black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) in the LGBTQI+ community. This podcast is part of RFSL Stockholm's Talk About It project, funded by the Swedish Gender Equality Agency. Our aim is to reduce LGBTQI+ individuals' vulnerability to sexual violence and build a strong culture of consent. A heartfelt thank you to everyone helping raise awareness about consent in the LGBTQI+ community. Together, let’s keep building a safer future. 💜
