As much as people don't want to admit it, there is phobia in the community and lots of it.  Dating and even just making friends as a person who identifies as anything that isn't Lesbian or Gay can sometimes be met with prejudice, stigma, and more.  In this episode we discuss phobia within the community, with dating, why it sucks and how to deal with getting past these stigmas in the community.  In order to grow and become better as a whole we need the strength of the ENTIRE LGBTQ+ community, not just some of it.  So, yes, that means we need to stop gatekeeping the queer community!
