In the second episode of "10 Years Out: Stories from My Queer Community," host Sam engages in a compelling conversation with Myles Markham, an extraordinary guest with a unique journey in the LGBTQ+ community. Myles, a queer, trans-masculine, non-binary, Māhū individual, shares their inspiring story of personal transformation and sheds light on important topics that shape their identity and advocacy.
Before finding their true path, Myles was deeply immersed in the ex-gay, reparative therapy movement, a chapter of their life that profoundly impacted their perspective on LGBTQ+ issues.
