Cambodia LGBTQIA Odyssey 2025
About the Odyssey:
"Claiming Our Identity in a Heteronormative World," is an odyssey designed for the LGBTQIA2 community to learn from and explore the enchanting city of Siem Reap, Cambodia. Immerse yourself in the rich culture and history of a city known for its UNESCO-recognized temples and the warmth and hospitality of its people. Siem Reap boasts a vibrant and resilient gay community, providing a unique backdrop for our journey of self-discovery. This odyssey offers a rare opportunity to learn from Cambodia's history and draw parallels with our own experiences.
