Episode 21 - Jess & Lauren

Queer Life Stories is back with our second series - exploring stories from the LGBTIQA+ community here in Tasmania, Australia.

This episode features Jess & Lauren who speak about their recent acceptance of the lesbian identity after having their own heteronormative marriages and children prior to meeting. Lauren also speaks about growing up in the Mormon religion and the influence and impact that has had on her journey.

Lauren is also a co-host of her own podcast, From God to Gay, with co-host Carris; who discuss their upbringing and conditioning in christian churches which lead to marriage and children before leaving the church and finding peace in their acceptance of their sexuality. Each episode speaks to a different topic from their perspective and is a fascinating exploration of how religion has impacted on their identities and lives. Highly recommend checking it out!

Queer Life Stories: The Second Series is made possible with the incredible support of Working It Out.
