We have introduced several LGBTQ+ people on this podcast in the past.  Our hope is to better understand the unique and individual lives of people who are not always represented.  We also hope to remind our listeners that there is a world of possibility that exists for our kids–the same possibilities as any of our straight and cis kids. This week In the Den, Jen explores some of those ideas with nonbinary journalist Nico Lang as they share their unique life experiences as a reporter covering the fight for equality.

Special Guest: Nico Lang
