For the 36th episode of Private Parts Unknown, your hosts Courtney Kocak & Sofiya Alexandra take you back to Helsinki for a previously unreleased episode about the legalization of gay marriage in Finland & how that's impacted the lives of queer residents. We cover the overwhelming response to the initial petition, the recent history of how the law passed, a classically Finnish wedding proposal, coming out later in life, what it was like to be the 1st same-sex couple to get married in Finland, the legislation's impact on LGBT+ acceptance & more! Thanks to the following people for lending us their voices & teaching us about their culture. Follow them on Instagram to learn more about them & their work: Aino Pursiainen – @ainopr Hannu Virtanen – @lifeof2men Caroline Suinner – @carolinesuinner (Also, go back and listen to the 1st three episodes in our Helsinki series if you haven’t already!) Private Parts Unknown is a proud member of the Pleasure Podcast network.
