    Colin's haunting lived experience of childhood bullying and suicidal ideation around his homosexuality makes for an, at times, confronting episode. Today Colin lives with his husband Stephan who has been by his side for 44 years. His sharing of the journey from childhood to present day shows how far we have come as a society but still smacks of the same exclusion that we fight against today.

    Lachlan discusses his unique childhood of homeschooling and social isolation. In a beautifully revealing deep dive Lachlan reveals how confusing it was to navigate childhood with ADHD, suspected dyslexia and undiagnosed Autism in a family whose religious beliefs left no room for Lachlan to be assisted with any of this challenges. It wasn't until his late teens that he realised his gender dysmorphia was really standing in the way of who he truly was. Identifying as a Transman, he speaks to the importance of creating support for LGBTIQA+ individuals and how being "out" is important but no always safe.
