Play0:00-0:0048 min

In this episode of One Foot In The Closet, our host Name Redacted, sits down with Queer African Reads, as they talk about:

  1. The erasure of queer African histories and the myth of queerness being Un-African

  2. The privilege of pronouns

  3. Being a Bookstagrammer and reading recommendations on queer African histories and queer fiction

  4. How to respond when someone comes out to you and more! 

    Content warning for: discussion of the safety concerns when coming out to people; being outed by someone or company policy forcing you to either misgender yourself or out yourself; the danger of being out and trans on the African continent; how a common response to coming out “we already knew” can be hurtful.
