Two gay Palestinian men with too many opinions and not enough patience for explaining ourselves. While our people endure genocide and struggle for liberation, we’re here to shed light on the everyday lives of queer Palestinians in the diaspora—our joys, contradictions, petty debates, and deep feelings. This isn’t a defense, it’s a conversation. Join Khalil and Ali as we navigate it all with humor, honesty, and absolutely no filter.

Inshallah, I'm Gay: Out of the Closet, and Into the Discourse.- Episode 14
Coming out? Groundbreaking. Khalil and Ali unpack the overhyped ritual of telling people you're gay... as if that fixes capitalism, your parents, or the Zionist occupation. From jerking off to gender politics to surviving Eid with the straights™, your favourite queer Palestinian divas drag respectability, heterosexual fragility, and $10 mango cakes. We reflect on when to be visible, when to be strategic, and why queerness is a vibe, not a job application. Also: tattoos, Berlin, and confronting Andrew Cuomo voters at the function. It's giving… jihad but make it personal growth.
