Sometimes, just being heard is enough to change someone’s life. That’s why we are continuing our powerful conversation series, “Sharing Space” – where LGBTQ+ young people sit down with supportive adults to talk, listen, and connect.

We’re currently casting for 2 new episodes:

  • EPISODE THEME 1: Peer Support – We’re looking for LGBTQ+ young people (ages 18–24) who’ve felt the real impact of peer support—whether through a friend, a teacher, a team, an online space, or chosen family. This is your chance to be seen, heard, and to help others by simply telling the truth.
  • EPISODE THEME 2: Conversion Therapy Survivors – We’re also casting LGBTQ+ adults of all ages who survived conversion therapy and are now in a stable, healthy place. This conversation is meant to educate, expose, and empower, with truth at the center. You are not alone. If you’re ready to speak, we’re ready to listen—and amplify.

We are especially hoping to find folks from or currently living in: Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, or Hawaii. But, if you’re elsewhere, don’t count yourself out. 

If you or someone you know is ready to be part of the conversation, apply online at: https://sharingspacecasting.castingcrane.com 

This isn’t reality TV. This is real life. Real voices. Real impact.

Let’s share space—and change lives.

This bill, which has passed at every level of the Florida state legislature, now awaits the governor’s final decision before being signed into law. The potential impact of the passage of “Don’t Say Gay/Trans” on the health and happiness…

8 Years of Advocacy: How We Made Strides in Banning Conversion Therapy in Kentucky

Almost eight years later... we did it, y'all. We banned conversion therapy for minors in Kentucky. In September, Governor Andy Beshear signed an executive order protecting LGBTQ+ young people from conversion therapy, making Kentucky the latest state to take a stand against this abusive and dangerous practice. As I stood there at the signing ceremony, surrounded by fellow advocates, survivors, and supporters, it felt like the culmination of years of hard work, heartache, and hope. This executive order wasn’t just a piece of paper — it was a lifeline. A declaration that LGBTQ+ young people in Kentucky are no longer…
