Pride month: living genuinely in LGBTQ and cancer communities
Jun 27, 2023 Season 11 Episode 6
Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust

Happy Pride month!

It's important to understand how someone's cancer diagnosis intersects with their LGBTQ identity. Both are significant, both have their own communities, and there are bridges that can be built between the two. 

Three Trust graduate volunteers - Amelia, Ivans, Louise - share their experiences with cancer and being part of the LGBTQ community, and why taking people as they are entirely, as their genuine selves, matters so much.

They also discuss being part of the Trust community and how essential safe and inclusive spaces are for people to feel a sense of acceptance, especially while living through and beyond cancer.
