In this episode I interviewed, Brian Patchisky, Director of Penn State LGBTQ Center (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) Here are the questions we discussed in this episode. 1. Could you touch a little on transgender community and how are their struggles different than lesbian or gay? 2. There is already a lot of stigma for sexual violence for binary genders. What would be some stigma for transgender community? 3. What is a polite way to ask someone if they're gay or straight? 4. How is a life of gay men different than straight men? 5. What makes it hard to come out? 6. I'm reading news articles, LGBT Students Face More Sexual Harassment And Assault, And More Trouble Reporting It - https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/lgbt-students-sexual-assault_us_55a332dfe4b0ecec71bc5e6a What can people around the victims do to make them feel better? 7. Have you ever felt any concerns that straight men don't feel? 8. What can we all do to support people who are in LGBTQ+ community
