Why I chose to spotlight LGBTQ+ Holistic practitioners for pride month - I am an ally. Way to often, false narratives will blame LGBTQ+ people for their own mental health challenges. Many of the mental health challenges in the LGBTQ+ community are mainly from anti-LGBTQ+ stigma, family and peer rejection, workplace discrimination, homophobic and transphobic hate speech and even violence, not to mention the rise in anti-LGBTQ+ political climate.
