Standing with the LGBTQ - Brian Sibeko-Ngidi - Episode 3 - Pt 1

In this episode, I speak to Brian Sibeko about standing with the LGBTQ+ community locally and internationally. He is gay, married, a father, and a director of the Uthingo Network.

He faced bullying as a child because of his sexuality. The experience shaped his passion for standing with LGBTQ+ children. Last, their organisation supports the LGBTQ+ community in various ways and stands with victims of hate crime and their families.
