Kathy shares how she knew she was different and had crushes on girls in middle & high school. Growing up in a small town in NY, she didn’t have any LGBTQ+ resources, mentors, or community to help her understand what was happening internally. In 1985, she moved to Syracuse to attend college and ended up feeling even more confused about her sexual orientation.

Tune in and learn how better life became for Kathy when she moved to the San Francisco Bay Area after college, what it felt like for her to be with other gay women in the community, and how she gives back to queer teens where she currently lives.
