In this episode, we interview Chelsea Gibbs (she/her). Some topics we cover include:
- Falling for friends and the importance of boundaries while healing
- Queer baiting in media and how the church queer baits, as well
- Shaking off wrong messages you've been given about yourself and learning to own your story
Chelsea Gibbs is a writer and film historian based in New York. Her work on queerness in media and queerness in Mormonism has been published across various books and journals, and while she is no longer active in the church, she still enjoys facilitating dialogue about queerness within Mormon spaces. As a board member of Affirmation, she has had the opportunity to be a cultural translator between LDS and LGBTQIA communities around the world. As an educator, film archivist and someone who has run film programs for several organizations, she has loved the opportunity to share the ways storytelling can help people find their own voices and also help them become more empathetic to others. Send her a message any time to talk about your favorite queer TV and films, or to fangirl about Chieko Okazaki!
