Supporting LGBTQ+ Refugees in East Africa: A Call for Solidarity

LGBTQ+ refugees in East Africa face immense challenges, including discrimination, violence, and lack of access to basic services. Many flee persecution in their home countries only to encounter new dangers in refugee camps and host communities.

Despite these hardships, organizations and activists are working tirelessly to provide shelter, legal assistance, and mental health support. But they need our help.

Here’s how you can support:

🏳️‍🌈 Donate to organizations providing direct aid to LGBTQ+ refugees.

🏳️‍🌈 Advocate for policies that protect their rights and safety.

🏳️‍🌈 Raise Awareness by amplifying their stories and struggles.

No one should have to live in fear because of who they are. Let’s stand together for dignity, equality, and safety for LGBTQ+ refugees in East Africa and beyond.

The first time I came out to a coworker, it was early May, 2024.  I had just started HRT the week before, and I wanted someone at the office to be in the know just in case it was necessary for some reason.  She’s a wonderful person who I look up to and trust immensely.

I didn’t come out to any other coworkers until October, when I decided it was “go time” to start telling folks at large as I couldn’t hide being on hormones forever.

There was a massive work event going on that week, and I think the stress of it all gave me a push to open up.  The night before this comic, I came out to my cubicle row buddy, and he was as lovely and accepting as someone could be.

The next night, I came out to Yuqun on the stage of a music festival that was part of the multi-part event we were working.

I’ve talked before about not having had any “girl” socialization growing up, last week’s comic touched on it a little and ended on the idea that there’s hope to create some “girl” memories.

I like to ask my friends first if they’re ok with being featured in a strip.  The ask goes a little like this:

“I’m going to do this anyway, but I’m asking permission.”

My phrasing definitely sounds kind of sinister, but I’m not great with words sometimes so I’ll have to ask for your forgiveness.  What I mean by this is that these are experiences that I am going to talk about no matter what, but the permission I’m asking for is if they want their character to look like them (to the best my drawing ability allows).

I asked Yuqun a couple months ago about if she was alright with this strip, and in particular, using the pictures we took.

She said yes!

…I mean, obviously, otherwise I wouldn’t have used them.

Anyway, a couple weeks ago she mentioned that she keeps checking my strip and hasn’t seen the one with her yet.  I thought that this would pair well with last week’s, so it was "go time" again.

Yuqun helped me create my first “girl” memory that night, and I’m eternally grateful.

Love you, Yuqun.
