In this episode of T Time, we introduce you all to our friend, Quinn! Quinn is a 16-year-old, cisgender, pansexual woman who offers a very unique and important perspective regarding being a teenager in the LGBTQ+ community. She touches on very meaningful points regarding how important it is for parents, guardians, and adults in general to validate and accept their LGBTQ+ children, highlighting the eye-opening and very real consequences behind erasure of different LGBTQ+ identities, especially in regards to younger populations. Additionally, she talks with us about some of the dangers and obstacles to acceptance in various online communities. Overall, our conversation with Quinn raises awareness to the fact that social media and various online platforms have the ability to be very discriminatory, non-inclusive, and otherwise, detrimental to the well-being of young LGBTQ+ folx.
