In this episode of Not a Lonely Coffee Break Maddie and Meaghan explore a wide range of current events and their impact on the queer community. The episode also highlights the importance of queer representation and queer allyship in politics, the complexities of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in the workplace, and the dangers of erasing history. We also address the criminalization of gender-affirming care and the impact of mistrust in professional care for marginalized communities. The conversation emphasizes empowerment through queer voices and the need for respectful representation in all areas of society.#queer #coffee #DEI #genderaffirmingcare #politics #community #LGBTQ #SarahMcBride #podcast #professionals
