I Was Forced to ‘Prove’ I’m Queer To The Government ft. Latoya Nugent of Rainbow Railroad

What happens when your home turns hostile? We dive deep into the raw realities of LGBTQI+ refugees with activist Latoya Nugent, who fled Jamaica with the help of Rainbow Railroad. From persecution to queer liberation, learn about the global trends in anti-LGBTQI+ violence, how resettlement systems are failing refugees, and what it’s like to ‘prove’ you’re gay enough to escape.
