This is a podcast episode created specifically for the LGBT 001 Studies Creative Project Final for Professor Jack Caraeves at the University of California Riverside. In this episode, your host, Tanaz Zaman (me) will talk in detail about the historical context of LGBT discrimination and homophobia, the challenges that many LGBTQ+ youth go through today, and what we, as allies of the LGBTQ+ community, can do to help support those individuals. With a variety of sources, scholarly & non-scholarly, and brief referrals to a few supportive resources, this podcast aims to shed light into not only the struggles LGBTQ individuals face, but how they can seek out support from a variety of resources, and what we can do to help. With that, buckle up! We are going to go on a journey towards understanding & acceptance and how we can help this wonderful community!
