HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! In today's episode of Psych Talk, I discuss the current sociopolitical climate with regard to LGBTQ+ rights. First, I give a brief history of the Stonewall Uprising and Pride Month. Then, I discuss current anti-LGBTQ+ legislation in the United States, highlighting both general themes and specific bills. I discuss what the bills say and problems and potential outcomes with the bills. I discuss the mental health impact of these bills on LGBTQ+ persons and then discuss action steps we can take (especially non-LGBTQ+ individuals) can do to support our LGBTQ+ loved ones.
