Check out the latest episode of The Well+Good Podcast for a conversation between two LGBTQ+ thought leaders Pride2022
. This truth is very apparent in the conversation between ALOK and Ricketts as they explore what it means to heal and develop self-intimacy.
Recently, ALOK shared their experience on a panel in Texas where someone said that the only way to have a good life in the state was to be a white, Christian, cisgender man. ALOK pushed back on the idea that only one type of person gets to have a good life—even though some identities possess more safety and privilege in society."Even though I've been through a lot, I actually feel like I'm living a really damn good life," says ALOK.
It's easy to feel overwhelmed amid the flurry of rainbow-coated ads, panels, and events. It's easy to feel discouraged and painfully alone if the inundating narrative is that being queer means you are destined to find perfect, flawless, true love. This year, Ricketts and ALOK reaffirm what is true: There's no one way toin this community.
