Emily sits down with Riley Knudsen as he shares his coming out story and shedding light on the LGBTQ+ community.
This week, Emily got to sit down with long-time friend, Riley Knudsen. Riley married his husband, Cole, just about a month ago and we got to dive in to Riley's coming out story. He received the utmost support, respect, and love from his family and friends when he came out and he recognizes that he is very lucky to have been supported in that way since many people who come out as gay, bi-sexual, pan-sexual, etc. are not always received with open arms. We talk about the trials and tribulations he faced internally before feeling comfortable enough with himself to come out. There are so many ways to support our friends of the LGBTQ+ community and Riley shares some of those tips in this episode. If you or anyone you know is struggling with coming out to their friends and family or even just struggling internally to find their true self, please reach out. Resources are listed below!
