Matthew Todd: Straight Jacket

Gay. It’s supposed to mean happy, but are we?

Are LGBT+ people trapped in a cultural and social straitjacket? Does the ‘gay shame’ most of us learned in childhood continue to influence our mental health and well-being throughout our adult lives? What can we all do to build safer and more inclusive communities?

Editor-at-large of Attitude magazine, Matthew Todd will be discussing his critically acclaimed book, Straight Jacket, and how we can make gay lives happier.
