    Religious & LGBTQ+

    Listened

    In progress

    Here we're responding to listener emails requesting an episode on how to navigate being queer while also living in religious communities where it's stigmatized to be LGBTQ+. To explore this tension, we interview LGBTQ+ activist, Chaim Levin, who speaks about his experience being gay, coming out, and ultimately closing the conversion therapy center used amongst his religious community.

    This episode was made via a conversation between teens and Chaim, but teen voices have been re-recorded with adult ones to preserve their anonymity.

    Many folks who work on TTL identify publically as LGBTQ+ and we've made previous episodes on the topic including Coming Out Story and Queerness. If you're looking for more resources, check out The Trevor Project's Resource Center.
