As a woman of faith, Sara struggled with the news of her son, Parker, being gay.  When he came out of the closet, Sara went into hers.  Eventually, she stood at her very first pride parade to support her son.  It was a pivotal, spiritual, and profound moment that changed everything.  Since then, Sara has become an author, activist, and founder of a non-profit organization called Free Mom Hugs. 

Sara's book:

How We Sleep At Night: A Mother's Memoir

Please note: despite this being the season 2 opener, this episode ended up as the series finale for OUT Podcast.  Thank you for listening!

In the spring of 2021, we reconnected with Julie and Megan from season 1 episode 44’s ‘Be The Tiger’ .  These two are being the change as advocates for health and equity.  They’re making an impact in Ontario’s queer community and now reaching people virtually throughout the world.  This b-side cut was a laid back Zoom video chat that definitely started out with some behind the scenes vibes as we fixed technical issues and talked about random stuff, as we do.  Check out Megan and Julie’s IG: @out_in.nature

For Tiffany, living in a small town meant that she was supposed to marry a man and fit inside of a box that never truly felt comfortable to her.  Once Tiffany experienced a deep connection with a woman, everything changed.
