It’s finally here, the 3rd and final part of our Pride Month Q&A!

In this episode we are talking about the experiences of QTPOC, what makes a good or bad LGBTIQA+ portrayal, questions that are welcomed, questions that are tired and in true rainbow style, we leave you with some Queer anthem recommendations.

“I think for me, when it comes to media representation, if the character’s one personality trait is gay, you’ve got a bad character…I have other personality traits other than - the gay” - Ash

In this episode we are talking about having loved ones from a different generation, thoughts and feelings about the term Queer and advise for people who tend to diffuse discussions by saying “it’s just a joke”

“Be patient, like, they are from a different mindset, they are from a different generation. And if they are trying, they’re really trying… It is sometimes a really long game, but it’s worth it.” – Kas

Part 3 dropping next week.

To celebrate Pride we hosted a Q+A with queer young people about their lived experiences.

So here it is - part 1 of our fabulous Pride Month Q&A, albeit, just a snippet. 

In this episode we talk about the meaning behind the colours of the flag, the acronym, whether being gay is a choice, whether non-binary identities are a real thing and about being bullied because of your identity.

"When we start talking about non-binary people and start including trans people...when we start unpacking gender, it actually helps everyone." - Rory.

Part 2 dropping next week.
