Episodes description: 

In our latest episode, we talk about what heteronormativity means and how it impacts LGBTQ+ people. We explore the pressure to fit into the 'heteronormative box’ and how that can effect relationships and wider society. 

We hope that after listening to this episode, people will think more critically about heteronormativity and challenge people’s assumptions.
