How to Be Yourself and Help Your Family Support You, with Brian McNaught

Brian McNaught, a prominent LGBTQ+ advocate, discusses his experiences coming out as gay in 1974 and his subsequent work promoting understanding and acceptance of LGBTQ+ individuals, particularly transgender people. McNaught recounts facing job loss and societal rejection but emphasizes his unwavering faith and the importance of self-love. A key theme is the "hero's journey" of coming out, mirroring the challenges and transformations faced by many. He promotes open communication within families and advocates for education to combat ignorance and fear surrounding LGBTQ+ identities, promoting his book, Sex Camp and podcast "Are You Happy Without the Movie?" as resources for fostering acceptance and self-discovery.
