Queering desi brings me laughter and tears all at once! I love the way this podcast navigates through different identities of the LGBTQ community. We never hear Desi LGBTQ stories with passion and career focus but this show does justice to this niche market, I hope they explore more queer folks parents and their children. Love this podcast!

Loved how you started out talking about how exhausting it is when activists put each other down or start policing each other.

I'm really enjoying the progression of conversation on this podcasts and I love that it pulls from various walks of life. These conversations are so important and i'm so happy that there is some more documentation of our South Asian queerness. I really loved the episdoe with DJ Rekha and Alok. I really enjoyed learning the history of SA queerness (even though it only seems to be in NY :( ) and Alok's conversation was very raw and real and was beautiful. Thank you for doing this.
