No Sides, Only Love - Part 2 (Provo, UT)

It’s Part Two of our visit to Provo, Utah and we’re back with the youth of the Encircle Provo house. This week, you’ll meet the superheros who keep the Encircle home up and running, including an assistant program director who’s queering ballroom dance. Plus, listen to a special interview with Encircle BFFs and episode hosts, Peter and Maru, and sit in on a Youth Friendship Circle, a signature Encircle offering that puts the home’s motto, “No Sides, Only Love,” into action. We suggest listening to Part 1 of this episode first.⚠️ CONTENT WARNINGS:Please note that some resources may contain triggering content and do not necessarily reflect the beliefs of, or the definitions used by, The Future Perfect Project. ⏱️ TIME STAMPS:0:00 Intro w Hosts Peter & Siri/Maru3:06 Meet Adults of Encircle: Eryn, Chris, Shem & Macey10:30 Friendship Circle16:03 bffs Maru & Moon on “growing up queer in Provo?”25:13 Queering Competitive Ballroom w Chris27:09 Messages to the Next Gen of Queer Youth in UT29:00 Outro, Credits & Gratitude💬 TRANSCRIPT: https://share.descript.com/view/cm9Na2v2gZd 📝 RESOURCES/SHOW NOTES:Visit our site for full show notes on local queer info, history, and additional resources mentioned in this episode → http://thefutureperfectproject.org/podcast We want to hear from you!
