Episode 18: Gatekeeping in the LGBTQ+ community with Jenna Slaughter (they/them):
Jenna is a self-love coach and host of The Unlearning Podcast. Jenna helps LGBTQ+ folk sort through emotional baggage, get clear with what feels authentic to you, and empower people to take inspired action.
In today’s episode, we talk about gatekeeping in the LGBTQ+ community. Within this topic we discuss what LGBTQ+ gatekeeping is, including distinguishing between good and bad gatekeeping. Predominantly, we aim to challenge thinking around the idea that there’s one way to be and open our minds to the idea that there should be no caveats on identity and belonging.
Each person’s identity within the LGBTQ+ community is perfectly valid, and we need to start challenging those who attempt to devalue folk for not being ‘queer’ enough.
Join us on this journey as we dismantle marginalising structures and foster a world of growth, fluidity and acceptance of all identities
