Leelah Alcorn's Story

Source: https://www.podbean.com/media/share/p... TW: Discussion of suicide.. . . LGBTQ people often have to deal with rejection, despair, or loneliness. Sometimes that can lead to a particularly dark place. In this episode we look at the story of transgender girl Leelah Alcorn who, after coming out to her religious parents, faced rejection, isolation, and abuse that led her to take her own life at the young age of 17.  If you or someone you know may be at risk of suicide, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.
