Understanding, Embracing and Integrating LGBTQIA+ Identities Into Our Lives with Thank You For Coming Out Founder & Producer Dubbs Weinblatt

Thank You For Coming Out Founder and Executive Producer Dubbs Weinblatt talks about how their experience growing up in a reform synagogue impacted their identity and how their dedication to educating people on the nuances of LGBTQ identity inspired the founding of their improv group and podcast. Founded in 2015, Thank You For Coming Out offers a safe space for LGBTQIA+ storytellers and improvisers to share their vulnerable and heartfelt coming out stories. In today’s society, representation and visibility are so important for individuals who are discovering their sexual identities and orientations, and Dubbs offers their thoughts on how different life would’ve been if they had the right mentorship and guidance earlier in life. Tune in to hear more about Dubbs’ commitment to educating people on LGBTQ+ identities, why there must be a willingness to listen and learn, and how society plays a large role in coming out experiences.
