Let's cover the LGBTQIA+ world by discussing topics that affect and include those of us in the rainbow umbrella. We will also hear stories of transition, coming out, and life out loud. Stories, chat, discrimination that has been experienced, or just plain old discussions with people within the LGBTQ+ world! Don't let the name fool you though, this show is NOT just for lesbians and is NOT lesbian centered. Join us to hear this and more, and perhaps your story can be on the next show!
