\"Thami<\/p>\n

Kathmandu (Pahichan) October 14 – Coming on board is Emil Wilbekin, New York-based journalist, activist and founder of an American movement for black gay men called Native Son.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

To commemorate International Coming Out Day this month, the Thami Dish Foundation has launched a first of its kind for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transexual, Intersexual, Queer-Questioning and others (LGBTIQ+) community to connect young gays in South Africa and across the globe.<\/p>\n

The LGBTIQ+ Global Network is a platform that will link non-governmental organisations (NGOs), LGBTIQ+ affinity groups, LGBTIQ+ activists, corporates and governments in a bid to form partnerships that benefit the global community.<\/p>\n

The Thami Dish Foundation is an LGBTIQ+ focused NPO geared to educating societies, providing opportunities for LGBTIQ+ youth and creating inclusive communities.<\/p>\n

Through event-based platforms, such as conferences and community outreach projects, young members of the community can interact on a global scale with the goal of desensitising the issues the community faces.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy vision has always been to create platforms that advance the protection, promotion and visibility of LGBTIQ+ people, identities and communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want this network to unite the world\u2019s LGBTQ+ community. We should speak with one voice and show that we are powerful if we work together,\u201d said chairperson of the foundation Thami Kotlolo.<\/p>\n

Coming on board is Emil Wilbekin, New York-based journalist, activist and founder of an American movement for black gay men called Native Son.<\/p>\n

He said he was excited about joining forces with the foundation to promote the unity of the LGBTIQ+ community.<\/p>\n

After the launch of the forum there will be a five-day global conference in South Africa in October 2018.<\/p>\n

It will encourage networking and explore synergies around various forms of activism, expression and economic opportunities. The inaugural theme is Unlocking the world by linking LGBTIQ+ communities globally.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe network is my dream \u2013 created by LGBTQ+ groups for the benefit of communities globally to engage, learn and grow. The time has come to have collective ownership and commitment,\u201d said Kotlolo.<\/p>\n
