LGBTQ+ labels with Jules

<p>Welcome to Over the Rainbow, an LGBTQ+ podcast dedicated to queer education and queer representation. Hosted by Rachel Keighley (she/her).</p> <p> </p> <p>Episode 8: LGBTQ+ labels with Jules (they/them):</p> <p>In this episode Jules and I talk about LGBTQ+ labels. We cover what a label is, and discuss why labels are useful, but also why sometimes they can be dangerous or a hindrance to people discovering or expressing their identity. We also share some of our own experiences using labels and exploring language.</p> <p>As always, what we discuss is not a hard fast rule. Some people love using a particular label to express themselves, whilst others feel labels are too restrictive, and others still fall somewhere in between. All of these views are totally valid, and I urge you to do what’s right for you.</p> <p> </p> <p>Information, support and resources on LGBTQ+ labels:</p> <ul><li>Zoe Stoller: <a href='https://www.zoestoller.com'>https://www.zoestoller.com</a></li> <li>Ben Pechey: <a href='https://www.benpechey.com'>https://www.benpechey.com</a></li> <li>For The Love Of Queers Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/fortheloveofqueers/'>https://www.instagram.com/fortheloveofqueers/</a></li> <li>Michelle Cooper Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/michellebelieve/?hl=en'>https://www.instagram.com/michellebelieve/?hl=en</a></li> <li>Stonewall Glossary of Terms: <a href='https://www.stonewall.org.uk/help-advice/faqs-and-glossary/glossary-terms'>https://www.stonewall.org.uk/help-advice/faqs-and-glossary/glossary-terms</a></li> <li>Enough is Enough: <a href='https://www.enough-is-enough.eu'>https://www.enough-is-enough.eu</a></li> <li>LGBT Germany: <a href='http://www.lgbtgermany.com'>http://www.lgbtgermany.com</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>More information on this podcast:</p> <ul><li> Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/_overtherainbowpodcast/'>https://www.instagram.com/_overtherainbowpodcast/</a> </li> <li> Facebook: <a href='https://www.facebook.com/overtherainbowpodcast13
