Welcome to our next interview of our What’s Underneath Pride Series, in partnership with Spring Health. Today we sit down with queer couple, model Syd Miller and actor August Black. Trigger Warning: This video addresses the subject of suicide and sexual assault. Viewer discretion advised. 

In this interview, Syd and August open up about their intense journey to parenthood as a result of a cryptic pregnancy, the difficulties of being a 'straight passing' queer couple, and the backlash they've faced from their own LGBTQ+ community as a result. They share how being queer has better prepared them to be parents and how their baby Beau brought them purpose and power as a couple and family in a heteronormative world.

Claire Raymond is a Mental Health Advocate and Social Media Personality. In this video, she talks about talks about living with tethered cord syndrome, struggling with the health care system, mental health, and being a queer, disabled woman.

In her own words:
“I had my life planned out. I was going to have a husband. I was going to have kids. I was going to have the house. I was going to put my head down. I was going to go to school. I was going to finish in four years very quickly. I realized that you're not in control of your life. I feel like my life has already pre-planned out and I'm just learning as I go the steps to go forward.”
