In this week's episode, Utah's First Lady Abby Cox is joined by Brian Garrett and Rob Matheny to talk about the moment they knew that they were not like everyone else in Utah, the fear they originally felt for coming, the work that the military is doing to support the LGBTQ+ community.

Then we talk about the increased suicide rates within the LGBTQ+ community, all of the various ways that Encircle is helping give support to the community, positive ways that we can all promote allyship, and stereotypes that are very offensive.

We're also joined by Tiffeni Wall and her son Brayden, to talk about Brayden's experience coming out to his parents, how proud Tiffeni and her husband were when Brayden shared his decision to come out, and the neverending experience of having to come out every time Brayden meets someone.

Lastly, we talk about the importance of educating ourselves and showing our support for those who identify as LGBTQ+.
