In this episode, our hosts interview three members of the Minnesota LGBTQIA+/Queer community: Logan Sand, a certified sexologist, Lark Lekat, a sex educator and sex worker, and Carise Roatch, a Marriage and Family Therapist who works from a sex positive theoretical background. We discuss healthy relationships, body positivity, and how to use sex to help us find confidence and comfort in our queer identities. Co-hosted by Xochitl and Elle, we hope you listen in to gain a better understanding on the intersections of sex and queer identity.
