🌊 Gay in Jordan: Culture, Boycotts & The Truth About Queer Life in the Middle East 🧳

In this on-location episode, we're coming to you live(ish) from the Dead Sea in Jordan, with coffee, shisha, and some serious conversation. We’re diving deep into what it’s really like to be gay in the Middle East—and why Western perspectives don’t always get it right.

🌍 Is It Safe to Be Queer in Jordan? – We talk life, love, and legality in a country where it’s not illegal to be gay—but acceptance still has a long way to go.

🚫 The Problem with Boycotts – Why shunning entire cultures and countries might do more harm than good to the LGBTQ+ community living within them.

💬 Our Atlantis Episode – We address the backlash from our Dubai episode and why meaningful change can’t happen without uncomfortable conversations.

🧖‍♂️ Mud Masks, Belly Dancers & Dead Sea Vibes – Because yes, we do get into the fun stuff too. Life isn’t all serious, babes.

Whether you're from the Middle East or just curious about queer experiences across the globe, this one’s for you. Respect, nuance, and lots of laughs.
