In this episode, we sit down with a 22-year-old, small business owner, and a thriving member of Canberra’s queer alternative scene. We dive into stories of his youth and share with you his past as a young queer child in Canberra. We discuss the often-overlooked stories of queer-hood and share light on issues within the community. So please, relax and listen in as we share with you the story of Spencer Burns.
Bio: Spencer Burns is a 22 year old small business owner working on Ngunnawal land. He is a member of the thriving queer alternative scene in Canberra and prides himself on creating art for queer people. Spencer came out as gay at thirteen, and since then has been learning to find acceptance within himself. His expression and transgressive personal style often draws attention and backlash from less accepting members of the Canberra community. However, he celebrates his own expression and identity, and advocates for others to express themselves in the way they feel best suits them.
