Our producer tells a very personal story about what happened when she came out
June marks Pride month. If you’ve been listening to the show for awhile, you know this is a particularly important month for my family. I’m gay. In fact, I come from a very queer family, and two years ago, I wrote a book about growing up in this family. It’s called The Family Outing , and you can still find it in most bookstores.
We feature many queers guests throughout the year as part of our line-up of important voices with career expertise. But this time of year, it’s important to me to share stories specifically about coming out.

4 个月I came out at work in defense of someone else that posted public message in support of Pride to which another employee too offense claiming it was a political statement and had no place at work. I still think HR dropped the ball on that one, and still is fumbling the pride ball in their DEI commitments. At least this year when another employee put out a post celebrating pride, there was nobody piping up to object.
