This week on the Virgin Radio Pridecast, Alex and Shivani will be delving into the world of religion, looking at the relationship between religious organisations and the LGBTQ+ community, and examining whether religious freedoms and LGBTQ+ rights can co-exist.
You’ll hear from evangelical gay Christian Jayne Ozanne on the harm that religion can cause, journalist Paul Brand on the trade-off between religious freedom and LGBTQ+ rights, and Tik Tok star Benjy Kusi on the link between religion and culture. You’ll also hear from Matt Mahmood-Ogston, who founded the Naz and Matt Foundation after his fiance Naz tragically took his own life when dealing with rejection from his religious family.
