I love how her brother said "you're always copying me!" That is the best response from а brother. Also the way her family responded is beautiful! Thank you for sharing your story!
3:39 Hindu religion doesn’t prohibit homosexuality. It’s a cultural issue after multiple invasions of india from European and Mugal nations. Hindu Religion acknowledges all gender identities and sexualities. Also has Gods that are non binary Ardh nareshwar), and gods of transgenders (bahuchar maa). Scriptures also talk about homosexual relations. Happy for Christina! 🎉, And thank you MIO for south Asian representation!
As a 27-year-old Indian Hindu woman, I can 100% relate to Christina's story. I recently realized I'm gay, but as she said, my family is worried about why I haven't married yet since everyone is gossiping about it. They don't know what being gay means here. I'd say Christina is very lucky she has a brother. If my brother were alive, he would support me in coming out to my family, but he passed away a few years ago. Thanks, Mal🤍 for bringing representation from our side. It's really great. I wish I could marry a woman as like Christina one day, maybe in the next life.♥
Hey, kudos to you for sharing it here!May you find your path that you desire 💫I am also from India, living in culture that doesn’t support LGBTQIA’s but we have to find our way to love people who we love! Choose yourself and rest will make its own way…
I enjoyed this episode. As an African I understand how important it is for us to stay connected to our families. It can get tense at times but we would rather keep strong relationships with our families when we come out. I hope God blesses the marriage & keeps it strong.
Always makes me feel beyond happy to see monogamous relationships between women that are genuine, it's so hard to find monogamous partners these days...
How supportive of her dad to understand “the world will be against me, I don’t want my family against me”. So powerful. Also-cutting a steak with scissors?! Genius! Thanks for the tip 😂
I loved this episode so much and it deeply resonated with me. Seeing out and proud Indians always warms my heart and also picture a future for myself and think "One day I'll also be able to do it". Loved the guest and also appreciate Mal for bringing people from different cultures and it's always a pleasure to hear such great stories.
I deeply connect with the experiences shared on the podcast. As an Indian, we often avoid discussing LGBTQ+ issues, leading to a lack of representation. This forces us to SUPPRESS our identities, resorting to either avoiding marriage or working tirelessly to escape our home state or country. The level of homophobia in India is disheartening, even within families where we lack a safe space to come out. Not a Hindu but despite being baptized Christian as a baby, I feel alienated in this conservative environment (no hate like Christian love). I yearn to leave and hope for a future where I can relocate permanently thats my I am and will fucking continue work my asses off every single day for a better future. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Mal for bringing her, she's giving a voice to Indian women on your podcast and for creating a safe space for me personally❤❤❤
I met my girl via Tinder 7 yrs ago! I was on there for 2 wks, didn’t msg anyone, just received messages lol. She & I swiped right on each other & had our first date 2 wks later. We just got married less than 1 month ago ☺️🥳💞
I always worry about eventually having a 'big' wedding with my family involved bc of their reactions/things said in the past about queerness by them all. I've thought about eloping though when i eventually find the right person and absolutely loved hearing their journey and story! Such beautiful representation on so many levels :) lovee it!
Hii! I am also from South Asian community..Totally relate to her.I am Pakistani and very much interested in girls but due to religious and cultural rrstrictions i cannot came out to anyone..I really feel sad for myself.I tried for masters schlorships(abroad) for the sake of living my true self out there but unfortunately i could not got any.Now i have to marry a boy for parents happiness and live life unhappily.
2:47 this is so relatable as an Indian. I'm still not out to my parents, they think I'm just not interested in dating, they just don't know about it. And we do talk about LGBT a lot because they're homophobic and i always fight them about it.
Loved this episode! Christina comes across as very self aware and it was a pleasure to hear about different cultural perspectives in the LGBT+ comunity !
I'm crying this is amazing big congrats on the beautiful Indian wedding wish u all the happiness with you're wife another amazing episode thank you mal for this podcast and Christina for sharing you're beautiful love story ❤🌈
Mal, I love your podcast! please please please keep bringing queer people of different backgrounds, cultures, and races, it's so very important for intersectionality. Love you💗
Her life is a dream , I'll grind hard and get out of this place, earn my money, make my parents proud and maybe also come out to them Loved this episode, cheers to more representation ❤
There’s movies, start with the classic “Fire.” There’s characters on tv shows, search “Suki and Eve” on East Enders. Etc. There’s not a lot of representation but it’s there.
As an Indian lesbian myself...I can totally relate to this... ... Thank you for bringing Christina Walia.... Thank you Mal👭🤗💕 It's a re-upload? Because the earlier upload was incomplete
Ok, there's a whole community of moms who have specific food scissors in their bags to cut up food for their kids when they're eating out of the house! 🤣🤣 She could keep her partners steak scissors in her pocket when they go out for a meal! 🤣😭
Don't have kids, Who knew? So I guess that makes sense. But really with a proper steak knife... Sadly many restaurants go with "Just Good Enough"...hoping customers that won't take them home after the meal. Real cutlery is worth the investment!
Hi, my name is Michaela MaryAnn Flannigan. I am a trans woman who is attracted to females. I don't know if you would be interested in interviewing me or not. I watch your podcast a lot and I have learned a whole bunch of stuff from watching. When I came out as trans I thought that I had to date men because of how I presented myself. I found out quickly that men were exhausting. Now I am joined with several lesbian groups here in Vegas and I found myself in a crippling truth. Lesbians are Lesbians for a reason. They like women. So I am caught in the middle because I haven't had bottom surgery and I have this crazy idea that no Lesbian will want me because of the "D". I do have a bunch of lesbian friends though. It has been a difficult journey so far and I am still wanting a female partner. I do know that "some" Lesbians are open to dating trans women, but I'm not sure where they are. 😅 I don't want to interview with you to find someone, but to tell my story.
Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
I love how her brother said "you're always copying me!" That is the best response from а brother. Also the way her family responded is beautiful! Thank you for sharing your story!

Girl I'm sobbing at the Dad's reaction to her coming out 😭
i KNOW 🥹😭

I hope God blesses the marriage & keeps it strong.
May you enjoy a long and happy marriage. We have 35 years together and consider ourselves two of the most blessed women on the planet.
Always makes me feel beyond happy to see monogamous relationships between women that are genuine, it's so hard to find monogamous partners these days...

such a beautiful moment.
also “that’s not the type of scissoring we do” really took me out

So happy to hear from your first South Asian guest! This is pretty rare. :)
we hope to have more!!

Okay, but scissors are so practical. Learned cutting pizza with scissors from my Italian friends mom and it is a game changer.

But really with a proper steak knife...
Sadly many restaurants go with "Just Good Enough"...hoping customers that won't take them home after the meal.

Mal is the best
as a Korean, scissors for cutting meat is TOP TIER ❤ y'all are missing out 😂
oh looks like someone’s going to have to revisit their answer here!
This gives me so much hope 🩵
🥹makes me so happy!

Korean restaurants give you scissors to cut the meat!! That's how people do it there, and honestly, it's quite convenient..
Whats the end bit? Not the game. Where the guest says something random at the end of every podcast.
It’s at 36:15! Our famous lesbian haikus

no one gives a shit
Your ancestors knew this divine love was in the plan & worked so hard to put you in the place to meet Chrissy. 🥹😭🤧🥰
shame
