KathyDan and Jess had a great chat this week about the LGBTQIA+ community. Jess shares some history on how the civil rights movement started providing gay rights and KathyDan defines what all those letters stand for. The ladies discuss how growing up gay can inherently create trauma and the importance of finding a therapist who is experienced in supporting and affirming LGBTQIA+ identity while also providing meaningful access to resources and supports that will allow the individual Ito thrive. The Asked and Answered listener question hit home for KathyDan this week as she shared some ideas on how to better manage a child's (and parent's) anxiety about leaving home for college.*************************Media Mentioned in today's episode:Armchair Expert w/ Dax Shepard- Dwayne Wade(Start at 56 minutes)https://open.spotify.com/episode/0ul9xjDcUTQHTF2CFeDjMH?si=mfNvbLZtQFefGN-ziTlxtA&context=spotify%3Ashow%3A6kAsbP8pxwaU2kPibKTuHEResources:The Trevor Project: https://www.thetrevorproject.org/Safe Schools Coalition: http://safeschoolscoalition.org/Bi.org: https://bi.org/enGLSEN: https://www.glsen.org/National Center for Transgender Equality: https://transequality.org/National Resource Center for LGBT Aging: https://www.lgbtagingcenter.org/National Center for Lesbian Rights: https://www.nclrights.org/GLAAD: www.glaad.org*************************DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational purposes only and does not replace the advice you may be receiving from a licensed therapist.This podcast and website represents the opinions of KathyDan Moore, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Co-Host Jess Lowe, and their guests to the show and website.

Roz Ward is a queer Marxist academic and activist who was a co-founder of the Safe Schools Coalition. She was publicly attacked for her politics and her role in fighting for Safe Schools by the conservative media, religious lobbyists and members of the Coalition government.  Here Roz reflects on her experience with the culture war bullshit around that programme and tells me what it taught her, why she's a revolutionary socialist, what she thinks can be achieved through electoral politics, her involvement in the IMARC protests, why All Cops Are Bastards and lawnmowers.  Come see me record a LIVE SHOW as Greens MP Adam Bandt returns on Tuesday December 10th, 7pm - all funds raised go to the ASRC  JOIN THE BRAND NEW LIKE I’M A SIX-YEAR-OLD GROUP ON FACEBOOK!

The Global Atheist Convention is returning in 2018 and a returning presenters at the forthcoming convention is Jason Ball. Jason Ball is the 2017 Young Australian of the Year for Victoria, honouring his work as a passionate community advocate for LGBTI equality and mental health. Since coming out publicly in 2012, Jason has become a national figurehead on combating homophobia in sport and highlighting the damaging impact of homophobia on the mental health and wellbeing of the LGBTI community. This leadership has seen Jason take up ambassadorial roles at beyondblue and the Safe Schools Coalition, sharing his story of coming out with thousands of people in schools, workplaces and sporting clubs. In 2016 Jason stood as a candidate for the Greens in the Federal seat of Higgins, where he increased the Greens vote by almost 9%. His campaign focused on climate change, asylum seekers, science, mental health and marriage equality. Jason has come a long way since working as part of the Committee for the 2010 Global Atheist Convention, The Rise of Atheism. This is the talk he gave at that event.
