I have the pleasure of having James Rodgers on the podcast. James is not only a dedicated firefighter but also a passionate LGBTQ+ advocate and activist. During our conversation, we delve into his experiences as a gay firefighter, including a candid discussion about the challenges he faced when participating in an online photoshoot to promote LGBTQ+ awareness. James also shares his inspiring journey of becoming a firefighter and how he discovered his true calling, even amidst the emotional loss of his mother, a revelation that came while he was in training. Furthermore, we explore the LGBTQ+ community in depth, addressing the topic of whether the term "queer" is considered offensive. ☕ Buy me a Coffee - https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maycontain 🔗 CONNECT WITH MAY CONTAIN🎥 YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNugqHWQ2sU&t=29s&ab_channel=MayContain🐦 Twitter - https://twitter.com/_maycontain📸 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/_maycontain/💻 Blog - https://www.may-contain.com👥 Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielkelly92/ 🔗 CONNECT WITH JAMES📸 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rodgers__james/🎧 LISTEN FOR FREE on Apple Podcasts - Spotify - RSS 🙏 SUBSCRIBE & LEAVE A REVIEW If you enjoyed listening to the podcast, we'd love for you to leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts to help others discover the show :)
