6/24/2024 EPISODE #36 LGBTQ PRIDE MONTH Religion, Resistance, Relationships

Conversations With Carole

From LGBTQIA to she/her/hers, the language, descriptions, and ideological frameworks are ever-evolving. Gender identity is separate from gender expression. And these categories are also separate from sexual orientation. I self-identify as a cisgender woman whose sexual orientation affirms my attraction to men. What does all this mean? And how do you use the word "they" when referencing a single person??

It's Pride Month, June 2024, and we will deep dive into the LGBTQ community to understand how Religion, Resistance, and Relationships have defined the strength and resilience of this group despite the attacks aimed at curtailing and destroying their very existence.

Be sure to listen to Episode #35 where I present the foundational platform for the LGBTQ community.

I urge you to embark on this journey of self-discovery, to truly 'know the self'. This self-awareness will help you understand your own place on the spectrum before engaging in meaningful conversations with others.
