Leon Fernandes has a conversation which 'changed his life'. His guest Greg, has wisdom in bucket-loads.
They discuss the difficulties of coming-out as a gay man, in decades past, and run-ins with suicide.
Coming out as a gay man was often a journey marked by profound trauma and societal rejection. The weight of societal stigma and fear of persecution hung heavily over individuals who dared to be true to themselves. Many faced isolation from family and friends, discrimination in workplaces, and even violence. The courage it took to embrace one's identity in a hostile world cannot be overstated. Yet, despite the adversity, these individuals paved the way for progress, resilience, and the gradual transformation of societal attitudes towards LGBTQ+ rights and acceptance.
