E139: Gerry Lavz on LGBTQI+ Truths, Identity and Using Your Voice to Create Change


Listen Later

Gerry Lavz is known for lighting up our screens with his quick wit, bold honesty, and contagious laugh. As a radio presenter on Q Radio, host of the Pop My Cherry podcast, and a powerful voice on social media, Gerry brings both entertainment and education to the table.


In this episode, Gerry talks about growth and using your voice to create change. He shares his journey as a gay man, from coming out to his family and the role his father played in shaping his confidence, to the challenges he’s faced, and the powerful messages he now shares with others navigating similar paths.


People are sometimes too afraid to ask about: What does LGBTQI+ really mean? What’s the difference between gender and sexuality? What does it mean to be, non-binary, asexual, or queer? Gerry helps us unpack it all with compassion, clarity, and that signature Gerry charm.


We also chat about what needs to change in society for everyone to feel seen, safe, and supported and how we can all do our bit to be more inclusive and informed. Plus, we touch on mental health, handling public opinion, and yes… we talk about CHINESE FOOD (mouth-watering reviews included!).


And don’t miss the quick-fire round where Gerry reveals his go-to takeaway, his proudest moment, and the dream guest he’d love to have on his own podcast.


This episode is for anyone who loves a laugh, values open-minded conversations, and wants to understand life from someone else’s perspective. Gerry Lavz is the kind of guest who makes you think, makes you smile and I know you’re going to love this one.
