Stirring call for authenticity and tolerance

This podcast is about compelling human stories with exceptionally high stakes because of the culture in which they occur. These are thought-provoking, tender narratives supported with great music and production value. Recommended.

Eye opening

Living in a country where being queer is widely accepted, this audible opened my eyes to the cultural norms in the Middle East and other societies/religions. I did not know that in some places you are punished for being who you are. Beautiful and educating.

Just gay people want to justify

Struggled to finish as Muslim, really disappointed from the writer
simply you don't believe in your own religion ... that's it
