Jardín de las Mariposas: A Safe Space for Queer Migrants in Tijuana

Hola Friends! Before we close this season and take a little break, we wanted to leave you with the story of Jardín de las Mariposas, a shelter in Tijuana exclusively for queer migrants. This shelter has impacted the lives of thousands of queer folks who are fleeing violence and face discrimination in their land of origin and is helping many more figure out their next move in life. You won't want to miss this inspiring story of hope! Nos vemos pronto! @portofentrypod ************** Port of Entry has a whole new set of stories for you, this time centered around LGBTQ+ issues. This season we dive with our guests on what it means to be queer in the borderlands, finding yourself, and fighting for your rights. Follow hosts Natali Gonzalez and Alan Lilienthal as they sit down with these fascinating people who share their stories. Listen in and join us!
