E.42- The LGBTQ+ Community and Allyship with Loralei Cook
"The world around us just needs to realize the power that we hold to create inclusive environments for everyone." -Loralei Cook
Welcome back to Dive Right In with Jackie and Hannah! This week, we start off the episode by defining our terms and explaining some of the common definitions associated with the LGBTQ+ community. We believe that education is the key to informed activism, so by providing definitions, we hope to spread more awareness and inclusivity for the often marginalized Queer community. We also touch on the origins of the word "Queer" and how it has been reclaimed as a force for good. Jumping into our interview with Loralei Cook, an LGBTQ+ activist and one of the founders of the Queer on Campus organization, we discuss how being a Queer woman has impacted her. We then dive into discussing her organization, Queer on Campus, and the positive change it has had on people around her. It is amazing to see how young people are changing the world and we further this by discussing how to become a better ally and the importance of promoting equality for all. We also focus on representation and how the LGBTQ+ community is affected by the U.S. Healthcare system. We conclude the interview by discussing the hope and improvement the Biden-Harris Administration will bring in the upcoming months and years. Following our interview with Loralei, we wrap up by discussing the ideas of appropriation versus appreciation and the steps we plan on taking to address internalized homophobia. Thank you all for tuning in, and we we will see you all next week!
Love,
Jackie and Hannah
