Ep. 8- How to be an LGTBQ+ Ally? ft. Chris Tompkins


Listen Later

Chris Tompkins is the author of the book 'Raising LGBTQ Allies: A Parents Guide to Changing the Messages from the Playground'- one of the few parenting guides which have been written from a queer lens.   

In this episode, we talk to Chris about what it means for someone to be an 'ally' and how you can become one! We discuss his journey about coming out to his family and navigating his sexuality in a heteronormative space. We also discuss why cis-gender, heterosexual people should be talking about LGBTQ issues and why keeping silent about the issue often reinstates the traditional ideas of 'right' and 'wrong'. 

Join us with an open mind, and trust the magic your acceptance can bring about!
