Last week The Age highlighted the issue of racism in the gay community when a young Aboriginal man posted screenshots of the racist abuse he’d faced on gay dating apps.
Two young queer men, Aziz Abu-Bakr and Muhammed Taha, chat with The Informer about the racism they’ve encountered in the gay community.
Abu-Bakr discusses the white “gaytriarchy” in Melbourne and stereotypes on Grindr, and Taha talks about being seen by gay white men as their ‘token’ friend of colour.
Presented by: Matthew Wade
Produced by: Matthew Wade, with additional producing by Ben Grubb and Bart van der Werf
