For the LGBTQ+ community, feeling safe in the communities they live in is essential.

Kathy and Taras share their experiences when showing PDA (public displays of affection) with girlfriends and how they are (at times) super hypervigilant when out in public. Kathy talks about coming out to her parents (in her 20s) and how her older gay sister paved the road for her (it still wasn't easy!). 

Tune in and learn why Taras is now less fearful of showing PDA with his girlfriend, why many LGBTQ+ people "come out" to others more than once in their lives, and how the media covers hate crimes among transgender women and men.
