The Atypical RainbowThe Rainbow Dissection: The Influence of HistoryWe dive back into the political cesspool, starting with our personal coming out experiences and how society's perception of homosexuality defined our choices. We then broaden out to the history of gay rights, the importance of finding your people in the 1960s and our fears and hopes for the future. All we ask is that history does not repeat itself, and we hope that we, as a society, can achieve that through vigilance, acceptance and by honouring those before us who fought for the rights we have now.

The Atypical RainbowGay-ly Life: Who's Responsibility Is Your Happiness?The simple answer is that happiness is a shared responsibility. The real answer is far more complicated, and requires every individual to acknowledge their role in someone's life and to recognise how they influence another person's happiness. Whether it's by supporting their needs or accepting their identities, everyone can make a difference. We talk about individual responsibility, the frustrations that come with having to explain your needs and how kindness should be priority number one for everyone. Hosted on Acast.

The Atypical RainbowGay-ly Life: May Contain Inappropriate LanguageLanguage is a minefield and choosing the right words is as much about cultural knowledge as it is about intent. In this episode, we analyse the words "normal", "f****t" and "same-sex attracted", amongst many others, to determine whether inappropriate words are born that way or made that way. So you know, we've marked this episode as having explicit language, but we don't actually swear. We only drop that other f-word and we try to do it in the least offensive way possible.

The Atypical RainbowSpectrum Analysis: Expectations and PerfectionismWhat started out as a conversation about what to expect of a child with autism broadens out into talking about being considerate to one another, stimming, Individual Learning Plans and anxiety management in general. We give some advice at the end too, but don't take us too seriously. We have opinions like everyone else has. Oh, and there's a weird gap of silence near the beginning of the episode - that's not you, it's us. Paul accidentally name drops one of his children and couldn't figure out how to smoothly replace it, so he just edited it out instead. Sorry.
