Welcome to our Feed Swap Friday. Today we’re excited to share an episode from our friends at I’m Feeling Queer Today! In this episode, Alex and Lily unpack the roles that labels play within queer identities and how they serve (or don’t serve) queer young people as they explore who they are, who they love, and who they hope to become. Listen to I’m Feeling Queer Today wherever you get your podcasts!
