Ex-NRC member Joe shares his experience with the NRC as a queer person. We talk about the beliefs the NRC holds about LGBTQIA+ identities, the response people had to him coming out, and finding a balance with family who have different views than us. 

TW: homophobia, brief mentions of suicidal ideation. Please listen with care.
