Episode notes

In parts of West Africa, there's not even a ban on same-sex intimacy. They are thinking of introducing those bans to ensure that there is no marriage equality. We also see in the USA with Roe vs Wade, the whole of the argument around same-sex marriage was pinned on this decision. And it's not one region is leading. It's different patterns. I think it's always best to avoid looking at the world in a homogeneous way or in different regions in a homogenous way.

This month, India’s Supreme Court will hear arguments on whether to legalize same-sex marriage.

Bloomberg reporters Muneeza Naqvi and Kai Schultz join this episode from New Delhi to explain India’s rapid march toward affirming rights for LGBTQ people, and how a ruling in favor of same-sex marriage would be felt not just within the country but across Asia and beyond.

Then, Gurchaten Sandhu, program director at the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association in Geneva takes a step back to talk about which countries have advanced marriage equality and where it is still outlawed.
