Episode Notes

Full show notes on the blog here.

As we kick off Season 3 in the middle of Pride Month we thought it would be a fitting time to address how we are discussing the topics LGBTQ+ with our kids. This is a hot topic, and one that tends to become very divisive. We hope in this episode to give you some insight into not only how we talk to our kids about these topics, but how we talk to one another as well.

We are excited to have Ashley Shade join us for this episode. Ashley is the Chair of the Libertarian Party of Massachusetts. She is also the Chair of Outright Libertarians, an organization that seeks to serve as a bridge to the GSM Community from the Libertarian party, that works to educate the GSM Community, and that tirelessly serves the GSM Community by making sure that the rights of the Community are always included in any conversation about the Party’s Platform or policy discussions. Ashley is also a Transgender woman.
