About This Podcast
Two gay Palestinian men with too many opinions and not enough patience for explaining ourselves. While our people endure genocide and struggle for liberation, we’re here to shed light on the everyday lives of queer Palestinians in the diaspora—our joys, contradictions, petty debates, and deep feelings. This isn’t a defense, it’s a conversation. Join Khalil and Ali as we navigate it all with humor, honesty, and absolutely no filter.
