Life as a teen is hard enoygh.  Lately it seems like schools and lawmakers want it to be even worse for young trans, nonbinary, and LGBTQ+ kids entirely!

There are new rules and laws that are trying to be passed that would require parental permissions to be given before a school will use a childs preferred name and pronouns.

Quite a horrible thing to discriminate. We know how problematic this will actually be for those kids in unsafe and abusive environments.  Will this raise the rate of homelessness for LGBTQ+ youth?  Will suicide rates increase? Its made even worse in the aftermath of Roe v. Wade being torn down.  Despite wanting to "protect" children, it seems the only children truly being looked out for are the unborn ones.

Queer friendships and love can be a really beautiful thing.  From the butterflies you feel in your stomach to the anxiety of a new crush no two loves are alike.  There are many ways to love and make friends though and in the queer community that line can get a bit blurred depending on who you ask.  In this episode we will discuss the intricacies of queer love and friendships and how you might be able to navigate them better!

Change can be incredibly difficult for many people.  However it is inevitable.  For many LGBTQ+ people change is something we must deal with on a daily basis.  Often times our changes can be severe and difficult to deal with.  This week we discuss how change can be used to benefit us even when the change is not always as nice as we would like.

Hostility can happen in many ways.  For butches and masc folks there seems to be a disdain from men for existing without the need for the male gaze.  Why do so many men (and women sometimes) react with such anger towards people that are just trying to live their lives?  In todays episode we discuss why some members of society may struggle with the idea of these lesbians existing in a space that is completely free of the male gaze and creating a space that tries to be totally free of straight, cis men.

This week we discuss how to get over speed bumps and obstacles you may face in life.  Whether it is in a romantic relationship, a hobby, or something different everyone has had to face an issue at some point in their lives.  Overcoming struggles can really break a person down if they are unsure of how to solve the issue.  When it comes to LGBTQ topics many are faced with dealing with homophobic families, discrimination in dating, and so much more.  Having strong coping skills when it comes to adapting can be key in improving your journey to self improvement rather than quitting when things get difficult.

In this weeks episode is all about the importance of having out LGBTQ educators in schools. For many young children they go all of their lives without a role model similar to them.  Often times educators are some of the best models for children and including educators from diverse walks of life can greatly benefit the health of all children.  In this episode we discuss a recent issue with a lesbian educator being fired and how growing up in a diverse, accepting environment can benefit children for their adult lives.
