In this episode Shift MN interns Mason, Rhea, Siena, and Will discuss various challenges that come with being part of the LGBTQ+/Queer community. Inspiration sparked from a meaningful conversation Will and their friend Reese had; distinctively this interaction included the phrase, “coming to terms'' - implying the struggle with accepting and embracing your own gender identity and or sexual orientation. We wanted to prioritize the importance of talking about internalized queerphobia and the difficulties with figuring out who you are; especially while growing up. Our episode fosters a conversational space with open-ended talk, intended for various ages and backgrounds. Enjoy the episode!
