This week on Let’s Be Perfectly Queer Podcast, we're delving into a topic that's both vital and empowering – sex education. Join us as we engage in candid discussions about the unique challenges and opportunities LGBTQIA+ individuals and young children in general encounter when it comes to understanding their bodies, identities, and relationships.
So whether you identify as LGBTQIA+ or simply want to be a supportive ally, this episode promises to enlighten, educate, and entertain.
