My Identity Is Bigger Than My Bedroom with Jen LeBlanc

Pride didn't get easier, it just got quieter for a while. This episode breaks that quiet.My guest is Jen LeBlanc: out since 1993, founder of the Pride Empowerment Network in southern New Hampshire, and the writer behind a gorgeous piece on why Pride still matters that's been living in my head since the day I read it. We talk about coming out to her mom in a Sears parking lot, the Glad Day Bookstore on Boylston Street where she found her own history hiding in plain sight, the women's studies class that changed everything, and why she thinks the backlash against trans people from inside our own community might be the most urgent conversation we're not having enough.This one's personal and it's exactly why Pride still matters.Why Pride Month Matters by Jennifer LeBlanc:https://www.nashuaindependent.com/why-pride-month-matters-in-our-community/Pride Empowerment Network: https://www.instagram.com/pensouthernnh/New Hampshire Organizations:https://603equality.orghttps://manchestertrue.orghttps://blmnh.orgMassachusetts Organizations:https://gayforgood.org/boston/https://glisten.org/our-chapters/https://www.bagly.org/volunteerSoCal Organizations: https://lalgbtcenter.orghttps://gayforgood.org/losangeles/https://www.eqca.orghttps://www.blmla.org
