A goodbye note found on a computer. A father who says, “I don’t understand, but I love you.” A marriage that proves joy can grow in places once ruled by fear. From rural West Virginia to an online audience that shows up for humour, makeup, and honesty, we sit with Bobby Jean Spears as he traces a path from secrecy to self-belief.    If you’re weighing how and when to come out, you’ll find practical advice: start with a trusted friend, build a small circle, and save the family talk for when you feel safe. If you’ve faced rejection, you’ll hear how life can still open up in surprising, ordinary, wonderful ways. Subscribe, leave a review, and share this with someone who needs a reminder that better isn’t a slogan; it’s a direction we can walk together. Follow Bobby Jean:TikTok <a href='https://www.tiktok.com/@bobbyjeanspears'>https://www.tiktok.com/@bobbyjeanspears</a>IG <a href='https://www.instagram.com/itsbobbyjeanspears/'>https://www.instagram.com/itsbobbyjeanspears/</a>  This episode also honours the legacy of Anne Algar, a lesbian trailblazer whose activism for lesbian mums shaped the ground we stand on for so many of us. Presented by <a href='https://twitter.com/emmagoswell'>Emma Goswell</a> Produced by <a href='https://www.instagram.com/samwalkerradio/'>Sam Walker</a> We'd love to hear YOUR story.
