Being a member of the LGBTQ+ community brings with it unique challenges. According to 2023 Gallup research, 7. 6% of U. S. adults identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. Within that group, most rated their mental health and emotional wellbeing much lower than their peers.
In today’s episode of OK State of Mind, we speak with two members of the LGBTQ+ community who share candidly about their own challenges in coming out, maintaining relationships with friends and family, and thriving in the larger community. The hope is that others facing similar challenges will find inspiration and hope from the stories these guests share.
