A frequent guest and commentator here at Mandrake Society Radio podcast, Tuan N’Gai, is producing a tour of speaking engagements to challenge African-American gay people to collectively speak out against homophobia especially within black religious institutions. The tour entitled, Silence Equals Consent, is the mantra of the organization and website, Operation REBIRTH, which N’Gai helped build.
“Silence Equals Consent isn’t a battle cry against the black church or the community at
large”, Tuan says. “It’s an effort to call attention to the issues that have divides us in hopes to bring
about unity and healing. We need to learn to focus on what makes us the same, and learn to see
our differences as something beautiful.”
Tuan is currently booking workshops, speaking engagements, and book signings. One thing’s for sure, especially for those who’ve heard Tuan on the Mandrake podcasts, you will be challenged and inspired. To schedule an event in your area, contact tuan[at]guysjohnson.com
