b'CW: Self-harm, Queer death and Queerphobia\\n\\nIf you\\u2019re listening to this podcast, changes are that you\\u2019re z\\u0113ga. This word used to be a stealthy way of asking a stranger in Ethiopia if they\\u2019re queer. It\\u2019s gotten less and less stealthy over the years though. Today\\u2019s guest Bahiru explains how there are several languages in Ethiopia, so there\\u2019s a lot of work yet to be done when it comes to finding the right vocabulary to describe all different queer identities.\\n\\nZ\\u0113ga is not the only way to pick queer people from a crowd. Amharic, one of the Ethiopian languages, has a formal form. The trick is to only use the formal form with queer people. Because us queers deserve to respect, am I right?\\n\\nConsider supporting through https://Patreon.com/Queersounds\\n\\nFlashback Track: Nigusuu Taammiraat \\u2013 Haadhakoo\\nQueer Artist Spotlight: Prince \\u2013 Kiss\\nBest Live Experience: Janelle Mon\\xe1e - Pynk\\nRecent Discovery: Which Prophet \\u2013 Teslay\\n\\nShownotes:\\nHouse of Guramayle: https://houseofguramayle.org/media/\\nLanguages of Ethiopia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Ethiopia\\nJanelle feat.
