About

Sydney and Madeline introduce Candid Conversations and interview Gray Burton, a gay male student at USU. (Gray recommends the 'Nancy”and 'Making Gay History”podcasts to hear more queer stories and keeping an eye out for local LGBTQ+ groups and communities.) Definition of the Day: Queer Find out more about the history of the word queer: https://www.cjr.org/language_corner/queer.php (Correction: *Questioning* is also a term used for people who are trying to figure out where they fit in the LGBTQ+ community. In the podcast, it is implied that 'queer' is the only term used.) Call to action: Notice the rhetoric about LGBT+ community that you and the people around you use, especially in church settings. Episode fun fact: our reservation with the standard sound booth fell through for the interview, so Madeline and I crammed ourselves in a 3x3 booth for more than an hour to do the recording. Special thanks to Gray Burton for the interview and BYU for providing the sound booth and equipment for production.
