Is this true because every source points towards it?29:01 What is the history behind all the fighting? What is the reason for the boycotts and protests?33:35 Reasons for Boycotts and Anticapitalist view38:46 Will giving Palestine the 2 state solution not just incentivise terrorism?

You Ask Glitter Answers Glitter Cymru 2023-10-18 | In September I held my first Workshop on Behalf of @glittercymru8418 for Carmarthen Pride titled "Tokenism vs Antiracism". a part of the workshop asked people to leave any question, curiosity, or preconception they had about queer people of colour anonymously so that we could discuss them and deconstruct. due to the amazing turnout at the event we didn't have time to go through all of the questions but I promised we would in a video. Here I am joined by Jien, Arianne and Rahim from the Glitter Cymru committee to try and give our take on those questions.Follow Glitter Cymru on al their social media: https://linktr.ee/Glittercymru00:00 Queer People of Color answer White People Questions - Glitter Cymru Antiracism Workshop01:40 is it ok to ask, not “where are you really from” but “where are you from originally” only if it’s obvious here is not your birth country?08:52 dreadlocks on a white person: is it ever ok?11:03 how do i make sure i listen to non white voices when i learn about other cultures?14:13 my dad is a white man who has recently been interested in converting to Islam, but seems specifically fixated on anti-LGBTQ “Laws” in Islam19:34 are there reasons other than religion for homophobia in minority groups?27:55 where does self tanning fit in with self expression VS fetishising darker skin?37:56 have you got any tips for me as a white person to call out other white people on their racism?39:54 are here any really informative well written educative websites or talks or youtube videos that can be shared 41:41 what is one thing that you’d like us to take away from today?#blackpride #blacklivesmatter #wales
Glitter Virtual Pride 2021 Glitter Cymru 2021-08-14 | Donate: gf.me/u/yqf22t Come and celebrate another year of Glitter! This is the 3rd year we’ve put on this event where LGBT+ ethnic minority people in Wales take centre stage and are celebrated! Our pride event last year was a huge milestone for Glitter Cymru. We had over 70 people attend, which took place at Cathays Community Centre. It was such a warm and supportive environment. This year we’ve gone digital again - but we’re not letting this virus stop us from taking our platform and being visible. That’s why Glitter Cymru was started for our marginalised community: to gain confidence and empowerment in their identities.It can be very challenging being a LGBT+ ethnic minority in Wales. We don’t see people like us in the local LGBT+ scene (i.e. pubs, clubs etc) or in the media we consume. It can feel very isolating, unfortunately racism is an issue within the LGBT+ community as many of our group attendees have attested to. Stonewall, a leading LGBT+ charity found in its recent ‘LGBT in Britain’ report that 51% of LGBT+ ethnic minority people had experienced discrimination from the wider LGBT+ scene, this figure goes up to 61% for Black LGBT+ people. On top of this many LGBT+ ethnic minority people can feel othered by their own families or people who share their ethnicity. All this rejection from people who share various parts of your identity can deeply impact one's mental health and force people to hide their true authentic selves to fit in. So events like Glitter Pride are necessary to highlight our communities issues and challenges as well as highlight the fun side like our creativity and talent.Leading up to our pride event, we have asked supporters of the LGBT+ ethnic minority community to take our Better Allies pledge. The aim of the pledge is to get our supporters to think about how they support marginalised communities. We particularly want our supporters to listen to us, educate themselves of our issues and use their privilege to raise awareness about us to others. That’s what we believe is the foundation of being a better ally. You’ll find many Better Allies pledges scattered throughout our Virtual Pride. A big THANK YOU to everyone who has submitted a pledge, we hope consistent action from our allies will be the next step.Please find below the schedule for our virtual Pride and we hope the various segments in this event gives you an insight into who the LGBT+ ethnic minority community are. Don’t forget to follow us on all social media platforms (@glitterCymru) to keep track of our work. You can also donate to us at gf.me/u/yqf22t Thank you and enjoy!
Glitter Cymru presents Aladdin - the queerest Panto of them all! Glitter Cymru 2020-12-24 | What a year 2020 has been! Ms Rona continues to cause havoc and though we’re far from being out the woods, many of us have adapted and found the strength to keep going.Glitter Cymru has undoubtedly adapted. Since March we’ve moved our monthly face to face meet-ups to a weekly basis on Zoom. We were fortunate enough to have some funding to provide our group attendees with the technology to keep us all connected in this time of uncertainty. Perhaps the silver lining to this challenging year has been that we as LGBT+ ethnic minority people finding a greater sense of community, closeness and motivation from one another. We kept each other going that for sure!As we dive into this festive period, we wanted to round off 2020 on a campy, silly but wonderful note! And what better way then putting on a Zoom pantomime of all things!So here it is! Our Panto version of Aladdin with a full cast of LGBT+ ethnic minority people - our very Glitter Cymru attendees in fact! Expect something made on a 50p budget with shamelessly wooden performances - let’s just say it’s so bad, it’s BRILLIANT! We hope you enjoy our very first Panto and laugh along with us.If you wish to support Glitter Cymru’s work so we can continue to empower, encourage and support the LGBT+ ethnic minority community in Wales, please donate to our Go Fund Page here: gofund.me/450f08bfThanks again for watching and we wish you a Merry Christmas!
