Empowering Queer Youth: A Chat with Anthony Giorgio-Schmidt

I challenge language and I challenge ideas, because, and I don't put it into a story for anybody, I let them tell their story.
What happens when a podcast dedicated to mental health and resilience takes a deep dive into queer youth advocacy? In this episode of 'The Lighter Side with Jay', host Jay Casale sits down with Anthony Giorgio-Schmidt, the vibrant host of the Queer Teen Podcast. Anthony isn't just a podcaster; he's also the creative force behind The Golden Gays NYC, the nation's premier Golden Girls drag show. Their conversation covers a lot of ground.
From the challenges and triumphs of advocating for queer youth to the transformative power of travel, Anthony shares his personal journey and insights. They discuss how language and social media can either build or break safe spaces for marginalized communities. Anthony's passion for amplifying diverse voices shines through as he talks about creating platforms that encourage the next generation to stand up for what's right.
This episode isn't just about advocacy; it's about understanding the power of representation and the importance of community support. Jay and Anthony's chat is both heartfelt and hopeful, inspiring listeners to become compassionate advocates for change. If you're interested in how media can impact social change or want to hear stories of resilience and empowerment, this episode is a must-listen.
