With its news radio programme, the Society Against Sexual Orienta-tion Discrimination (SASOD) has been seeking to widen its reach for advocacy and to create a space for voices that do not yet have a place within Guyana’s mainstream media, according to its Managing Director and Founder Joel Simpson, who says it has yielded some success.
“A huge part of SASOD’s mandate is to educate the Guyanese public about sexual and gender diversity so that we reduce all forms of homophobia, lesbophobia, biphobia and transphobia in the country. So we’ve always wanted both a regular radio programme and a regular television programme as an outlet to be able to educate the public,” Simpson told Sunday Stabroek in an interview.
Since September, SASOD’s Spectrum Radio has been aired weekly on 96.1 FM.
