In this episode of Queer Evolution, we explore the role of technology and digital spaces in shaping liberation, connection, and power within marginalised queer communities and the risks that come with amplification at scale.

The conversation examines how accessible technologies from low-cost mobile phones and Zoom to artificial intelligence and social media have created unprecedented opportunities for healing, leadership development, storytelling, and global community building. At the same time, it confronts how the same tools can magnify harm, deepen marginalization, and reinforce colonial power structures when control over narratives is taken away from those most affected.

This episode unpacks:

• How entry-level technology enables marginalized communities to organize, heal, and lead
• Why digital access can accelerate confidence, connection, and community-led initiatives
• The double-edged nature of amplification expanding visibility while also intensifying harm
• How technology can democratize storytelling or weaponize misinformation
• Why marginalized communities must be empowered to control digital tools and narratives
• The responsibility to ensure technology serves liberation rather than domination

At its core, this conversation calls for a reckoning with power in digital spaces recognising that technology is here to stay, and that equity depends on who has access, whose stories are amplified, and whether these tools are used to expand possibility rather than reproduce oppression.
