Pride Day: Looking through Rainbow Colored Lenses

Did you know that, according to The Trevor Project’s National Survey in 2023, LGBTQIA+ youth are more than four times as likely to experience mental health challenges compared to their non-LGBTQIA+ peers? This Pride Month, we dedicate our latest Spotify episode to exploring the vibrant yet often unseen realities of the LGBTQIA+ community. From stories of coming out and self-discovery to the battles faced against prejudice and isolation, we open our hearts and minds to the spectrum of human experience. Join us in this eye-opening conversation with guest speakers from RKD Iloilo, mental health advocates, and proud members of the community as we reflect on what it means to live, love, and exist authentically in a world still learning to embrace difference. Together, let’s see life through rainbow-colored lenses—and build a world where every shade is seen, heard, and celebrated. This UPODcast episode is brought to you by Project KaleidosCOPE of the Order of Asclepius.
