Episode 5 - Gay Identity
from Wish You Knew Hosted by Karen Bortvedt Estrada
In honor of National Coming Out Day, we chat today with James who is an openly gay male. He shares his experiences growing up in a conservative area, as well as words of advice and how to be a good ally and build respect even when we disagree with others' sexualities. A transcript of this episode is available at www.wishyouknewpodcast.com/transcripts If you still find yourself questioning the correct vocabulary to use or what all the acronyms mean, check out www.wearefamilycharleston.org/lgbt-a-z-glossary/ For those who may themselves be on a journey of coming out to themselves and others about their sexuality (or those who just want to continue learning), James mentions many great resources including: www.1800runaway.org www.thetrevorproject.org Www.itgetsbetter.org www.gaychristian.net And, if you are the family member or friend of someone who identifies as LGBTQI, www.pflag.org is a great place to go for resources and support as you too continue along the journey of coming out with your loved one. As James says, it is a process for everyone involved.
