USA: THE STORY OF A JEHOVAH’S WITNESS SURVIVOR

 

If I said the words “Jehovah’s Witness”, it might conjure up thoughts of door-to-door salesmen selling their religion.  Or perhaps those little magazines left in laundromats and book stores.  Or maybe the famous tennis sisters – Serena and Venus Williams. But the term ‘gay-friendly’ probably doesn’t spring to mind.

  • What is it like growing up a Jehovah’s Witness knowing that you have different feelings?
  • What happens when you come out as gay?
  • Can you be gay and a Jehovah’s Witness?

To tell his very personal experience, tonight we are joined by Rob Santos – an American survivor of the Jehovah’s Witness church.

World Wide Wave aims to promote awareness of international LGBT issues. Our program provides in-depth analysis and interviews. We focus on the challenges facing the global LGBT community as well as some of our successes.

We take pride in interviewing a wide range of international LGBT people and supporters including politicians, activists, academics, parents, authors, students, professionals and more.
