On this episode, I had the opportunity to have a long over-due kandid chat on LGTBQIA+ matters!!
I was joined for this discussion by, CPA, licensed massage therapist, Kraft Beer Bar
owner, creative copyright writer, black belt martial artist, a homeschooling parent, and host of the "Life
and Love in the Q" podcast, Jillian Abby aka "Ask Queer Abby!
Key takeaways:
● Compulsory heterosexuality appears in our lives in many ways, including conversations, the
gendering of everything, and toys.
● Listening to other people's stories is one of the best ways to learn and change our perceptions
of LGBTQIA+
● We don't always have to understand the how or why behind everyone, but if we can see the
humanity in them, we have less to fear.
● When we don't know things, we fill in the blanks with assumptions, which can be harmful.
● There is no bullet list of what to say or not say to LGBTQ+ individuals, but connecting with
other humans, especially ones that aren't like us, can help us understand and see their
humanity.
● Homophobia still exists because the queer identity is still sometimes seen as taboo, scandalous, or
dirty.
● It is essential to educate everyone, especially queer kids, on sexual health.
● Having open and honest conversations is crucial in understanding and accepting people who
identify differently from themselves.
By having open and honest conversations and connecting with others who are different from us, we
can move towards a more inclusive and accepting society for all.
