The Gay Podcast for Everyone
When I came out to my family, I was essentially asking them to come on this new journey with me. They were now the family of an LGBTQ+ person, and it was new to all of us.
In this podcast, I chat with parents who chose unconditional love over fear and whose supportive conversations are helping to keep the closet door open. I also chat with folx in my LGBTQ+ community, who share their stories so that parents, families, and friends can listen in and understand the journey more.
You don't have to understand the journey to choose unconditional love, and unconditional love doesn't mean you don't have questions, concerns, or fears. It just means we have to help each other through that conversation. Let's talk about it!

19. BONUS: Stumbling through topics and conversations and learning as you go with guest, Lori Briones
In the trailer for this podcast, I mentioned the acronym LGBTQ without the "+" at the end. I panicked about it. Was I unintentionally excluding a section of my community from the conversation? Because that wasn't my intention.
Certain topics cause us to pause and ask ourselves if we said something right, or if there might be a better way to say something, overall.
In this episode, my sister, Lori Briones, and I dive into how we can give ourselves the grace to fumble through conversations. Join us as we break down why that moment stressed me out so much and how we can move forward in conversations when we realize we could have said something better.
