In this episode, we delve into the 17th report of KAILASA by the United Nations, which calls for global recognition and action to protect LGBTIQ+ individuals facing legal discrimination in 64 countries. We explore Hinduism's historical acceptance of gender diversity, The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism's teachings on gender and sexual orientation, and KAILASA's role as a beacon of inclusivity. We also meet Gerald Galuza, a multi-talented storyteller from Maine, whose first book 'Melvina's Adventures' is a tribute to his family heritage and a glimpse into his rich life experiences.
