Our View - Stories from the LGBTQ+ Community

In this weeks episode of Our View I discuss internet trolling. I am a huge fan of social media, however social media gives individuals an anonymity which leads to nasty and harmful comments being made, especially against marginalised communities such as the LGBTQ+ community. Please subscribe to this podcast if you have been enjoying the episodes.

This week I am really excited to share my interview with the amazing Rylee. In this episode we discuss issues faced within the non-binary community. Many societies often recognise two genders, male and female. Non-binary is one term people use to describe genders that don’t fall into one of the two categories of male or female. Non-binary people aren’t following a new 'millennial' fad – non-binary identities have been recognised for years by cultures and societies around the world. So in today’s episode I speak to Rylee to try and help shed more light for people who would like to learn more about the non-binary community.

The #10yearchallenge is all over social media. Some people are taking the opportunity to show themselves as a geeky teen, while others are discussing more serious issues such as global warming and the extinction of animals. In this episode of "Our View" I reflect on my high school days and some of the challenges I faced as a closeted gay teen living in a rural community.

Coming out as gay, bisexual, lesbian, transgender or any other LGBTQ+ identity can be a really difficult process! I discuss this process with therapist Kathleen Kettles including: her advice on telling parents/grandparents about coming out, sexual/gender fluidity, dealing with a crush on a best friend and recommendations for individuals who don't feel part of a community.
