Episode 02: Making Media More Queer

This week we are joined by Spencer Harvey. Spencer is an LGBTQ and human rights activist. He holds a Master's Degree in Global Affairs from New York University, in which he specialized in global gender studies and research surrounding LGBTQ rights. He is currently the Communications & Campaigns Coordinator at GLAAD, the leading LGBTQ media advocacy organization working to accelerate acceptance and equality for the LGBTQ community.

In this episode we talk about representation of LGBTQ stories in media, how to relate to a young & closeted you, the privilege of being white and gay, the lack of HIV education in schools, normalizing conversations about all types of sex, and more.
