And so like, of course, that had a very negative impact on my, everything, more or less. And so during my teenage years, I kind of took that as affirmation of just the homophobic transphobic, all of that vitriol that was being spewed by the effectively their peers, and the other denominations nearby and everything. And, but they were also very, very silent on any sort of rainbow issues. So the spinal by like, I was actually in a very liberal accepting sort of Lutheran Church in amidst all of these other denominations and contexts and sort of thing. Before I even realized, like, not had that self realization of, oh my god, I'm a career.
And all of these had, like, put a lot a lot of different kinds of pressure on me. And because of living in the States, I was also very proximal to the Westboro Baptist Church, just via the internet, basically. So we had a very large Catholic community in a Mormon community. And in that time, my schooling experience was, I wasn't I was at a public school, it wasn't a very and so it wasn't like officially a very religious school, but it was a very religious school. But when I was three and a half years old, I moved up to Seattle, because that's where my mom's side of the family lives, and spent most of my childhood and adolescence there. So with that in mind, I guess I'll just jump into my coming out story. And coming out as only one small part of that as one single strategy that we actually use to combat that when it's far from the only way that we keep ourselves mentally healthy that we can then navigate our lives in that monochrome world, basically. I've been thinking about it like, especially like in terms of this structure of the closet and coming out in terms of, well, the closet is is very, very big thing that, you know, kind of chases us all our lives in a way. So in the six and a half years that I've have under my belt now. So it's really easy for me to count those. So one of the big ideas from so I kind of kept my life in biological years, and also gay years, because it just so happened that when I accepted myself for who I was, I, it was on my birthday. Yeah, so I'm Danny, I'm also president unique Victoria, where I just did a discussion on this. I'm going to hand over to Danny to introduce this idea. And Teigen will share some of the experiences coming out across different settings, family at school work, and coming from a background of faith. Navigating the world as someone from rainbow communities brings with it many challenges taking different forms for different people. So this first workshop today is rainbows and a monochrome world. This podcast is brought to you in association with inside out in pride in z.com.
