It’s Part 2 of our visit to Spartanburg, South Carolina and we’re back with the youth of Uplift Outreach Center to hear their coming out stories, secret crushes, and messages of hope for the future. Plus, they share their thoughts on the passing of House Bill 4624, which bans gender affirming care for minors across the state. If you’re just joining us, welcome to our queer road trip across the country! We suggest listening to Part 1 of this episode first.⚠️ CONTENT WARNINGS:Please note that some resources may contain triggering content and do not necessarily reflect the beliefs of, or the definitions used by, The Future Perfect Project.&nbsp;⏱️ TIME STAMPS:01:15 Intro & Welcome to Part 202:35 Find your identity in the LGBTQIA+ Wiki w Valentine&nbsp;&nbsp;05:26 Queer Crushes7:28 Coming Out stories&nbsp;12:04 CW⚠️ transphobia & violence12:20 Youth React to SC Bill H4624 (Gender-Affirming Care Ban)&nbsp;&nbsp;15:10 How Do You Express & Explore Your Queerness?18:16 Ray’s “kinda crappy” Coming Out Story22:15 Finding Belonging & Safety at UPLIFT&nbsp;&nbsp;23:00 Messages of Hope for Queer Youth of the Future24:30 Outro, Credits & Gratitude25:26 Crisis Resources💬 TRANSCRIPT: <a href="https://share.descript.com/view/DOpbRTAMSLF" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://share.descript.com/view/DOpbRTAMSLF</a>&nbsp;📝 RESOURCES/SHOW NOTES:Visit our site for full show notes on local queer info, history, and additional resources mentioned in this episode →<a href="http://thefutureperfectproject.org/podcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> http://thefutureperfectproject.org/podcast</a>&nbsp;We want to hear from you!
