About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of visibility and authenticity in the LGBTQ+ community, highlighted by a personal experience at a Pride flag raising ceremony.

Three years ago, I never would have imagined standing in front of my community speaking openly as a gay man. This week, I had the honor of speaking at a Pride flag raising ceremony in Bedford. Pride is about visibility. It’s about belonging. It’s about making sure people know they don’t have to hide who they are. Happy Pride. 🌈 #Pride #HappyPride #GayDad #ComingOutLaterInLife #Authenticity VisibilityMatters LiveYourTruth LGBTQ PrideMonth Cominginsideout @ gmail.com
