Jack Harrison-Quintana has spent his career doing work that has shaped LGBTQ lives in corners of the world most advocates never get to reach. He has shown up, in person, in over 76 countries, building real relationships with LGBTQ activists on the ground, helping communities collect their own data on discrimination when their governments wouldn't, and working to make sure that the most vulnerable queer people in the world had access to resources, safety, and each other. His resume reads like a life fully committed to the idea that no one should have to fight for their dignity alone.

This conversation is a rare opportunity to hear someone who has seen the global state of LGBTQ rights up close and still chooses to believe in the direction we are heading. Jack is honest about how bad it is in too many places, and equally honest about why the backlash we are living through right now is not the whole story. If you have been trying to hold onto hope without looking away from the truth, this is the episode for that.
