In episode 2, we talk about coming out, which is often a huge experience for LGBT+ people.
We interview Marley, who identifies as queer and came out to their whole family this month! We also discuss our own stories coming out. The takeaway: it can be varied and there are lots of supportive people and organisations out there for you!
