Happy Pride Month!

Celebrating Pride Month, Mary Ellen interviews friend Trevor, a licensed realtor from NY, to bring light on what it means to be a part of the LGBTQ community and their personal experience. Growing up in a small town with only one doctor and counselor, Trevor felt a lack of support and was only able to express his partial self in the theater arts program at school and through his parents and brother. With pressure being put on him on his way to college, Trevor visited therapists and grew the confidence he needed to fully express his sexuality in NY by finding support groups on campus, his current therapist, and being offered a job that accepted who he is. Going through his job as a realtor, Trevor points out the dos and don’ts of when is appropriate to ask about someone’s sexuality in a professional setting, as well as not having to dress the part for people to accept you. This is a heart lifting episode everyone should tune into to learn how you can be an ally to the LGBTQ community and hear how you can seek help if you need support.
