"Love is Love" with Kelly and Andrew Avoiding the Addiction Affliction

Despite a growing acceptance, in many parts of our society, of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQIA+) community, this subset of the population has a significantly elevated risk of addiction and mental health difficulties compared to the general U.S. adult population. Recent studies have also shown that significant differences even exist among individual LGBQ and T subgroups. Kelly and Andrew, a mother - son duo, team up to educate folks about understanding and accepting gender dysphoria.
