Understanding Pronouns with Michelle Johnston

Do you know what all the letters in LGBTQIA+ stand for? If you don't, you're not alone. All of the terms can be confusing especially because we didn't have words to describe these concepts years ago. So it can seem like these are new ideas, although they're not. My guest on today's episode is Michelle Johnston (MJ) who is here to answer all the questions that you have about terminology, what the terms mean, and how to approach those you love with openness, curiosity, and without shame. This is an episode you're not going to want to miss, and we've already planned a follow up episode answering listener questions, if there's something that we haven't answered. No question is too basic. About MJ MJ...aka...the QT+ Coach, is passionate about joy and helping queer, questioning & trans people live their best queer life. This includes fully accepting and honoring their queer identity, nurturing healthier relationships, and exploring and healing from degrading religious dogma. As a queer, non-binary, ordained priest and life coach, formerly an Episcopal monk and jail chaplain, MJ has a unique depth of compassion and theological study that they bring to their coaching.Hey!
