Description

Welcome to Over the Rainbow, an LGBTQ+ podcast dedicated to queer education and queer representation. Hosted by Rachel Keighley (she/her).

Episode 16: Exploring LGBTQ+ identity, sex and inclusivity with Nicholas Moran (they/them):

In today’s episode we talk about all the incredible work Nicholas does regarding mental health, sex positivity and inclusivity.

First we discuss exploring your gender and sexuality and the challenges and barriers some individuals may face. Nicholas uses their experiences growing up and discovering their identities in conservative America to empower individuals to safely explore their identity free from judgement.

Within this topic we discuss some of the barriers LGBTQ+ people face when accessing mental health services and the lack of inclusive LGBTQ+ sex education. Finally, we discuss some of the important consultation work Nicholas does to amplify the messages and teachings of Queer, TGNC, & BIPOC communities to create inclusive and affirming practices/policies in the workplace.
