LGBT+ Empowering Change
Growing up gay in the 1970’s and 1980’s was incredibly tough. John Yates Harold lived that challenge daily, where being yourself was enough to experience abuse, violence and ridicule. This constant trauma has left it’s mark on the adult but rather than use it as a reason to retreat from society John has used it to fuel his passion for positive change for the LGBT+ community, but especially LGBT+ Youth.
John identifies as non-binary and many LGBT+ youth are facing a similar stigma to his 70’s/80’s experience because they too do not identify as a binary man or woman. John worked for decades as a schoolteacher and saw first-hand that although times do change, there is still a long way to go before a wider acceptance of someone’s authenticity is accepted by society.
Now working for Derbyshire LGBT+ as a project office they are dedicated to the rights, plights and wellbeing of LGBT+ Youth in Derbyshire and across the country today. John is heavily involved in Pride events and creates educational resources to ensure that the next generation are raised with understanding, empathy, compassion, and empowerment to be exactly who they are without prejudice, discrimination or fear.
Join us to find out more about the landscape the LGBT+ faces daily. If you identify as LGBT+ or love and support someone who is then this is the podcast Episode for you. Some thoughts on how to positively impact your own emotional and mental wellbeing right now are woven throughout this poignant and emboldening conversation – see you in there.
With Love and Empowerment
