Show notes
Coming out as the first openly gay musician in Indonesia was a bold act for singer-songwriter Kai Mata, raised between Indonesia and the USA with a heart of gold.
She recently came out as Indonesia's first openly gay artist and has exploded in popularity. Being gay is a bold statement to make in a predominately Muslim and counservative country where marriage and procreation is a paramount part of society. Being gay in Indonesia is seldomly admitted outside of close friends and lovers because of the potential backlash of hate crimes and discrimination. Kai speaks with host, Paul Teodo, about the need for more awareness about LGBTQ+ rights in Asian countries, and the difficulties and responsibilities that come with authenticity.
