This episode of Graying Rainbows is an interview with Rhodes Perry, author of Belonging At Work: Everyday Actions You Can Take to Cultivate an Inclusive Organization.

In this interview we discuss some of the obstacles to "Belonging at Work" and practical steps toward improvement. Rhodes also shares the Platinum Rule: Treating others like THEY want to be treated, which I think should be applied in all aspects of our life. Please join me for this thought provoking conversation and check out Rhodes' excellent podcast, The Out Entrepreneur. Links and References:

| 12 Nov 2018 | GR 1 Historian Lillian Faderman explores "The Gay Revolution" | 01:01:12 | |
Lillian Faderman's comprehensive history The Gay Revolution: The Story of the Struggle takes us from 1948 through the US Supreme Court decision that legalized Gay marriage in 2015. But for the first episode of Graying Rainbows we tried to focus on the events before Stonewall. Post WW2 was a very difficult time to be Gay in America and it is important to remember how far we have come, especially in these frightening times. The focus of Graying Rainbows will be on sharing resources and storytelling, but I think it is essential that LGBT+ citizens of all ages become more knowledgeable of our history, so this will be a monthly feature of the show.

Besides social isolation many fear discrimination in housing and healthcare. Since the AARP is the largest advocacy group for American Elders their role in advocating for LGBT+ elders is essential.

| 18 Jun 2021 | GR 51 Dr. Larry Millhoffer shares his experiences from the early days of AIDS | 01:04:14 | |
Dr. Larry Millhoffer is a retired physician who is grateful to have been with his husband for 45 years. Over that time the meaning of "coming out" has evolved, but a pivotal time in his life was caring for the first patients with AIDS as a young physician in the early 80's. During our conversation he reflects on the challenges of caring for patients in a time of fear and uncertainty, and on how the AIDS crisis changed the LGBT community. Because our community lost so many people during this period I think it is extremely valuable to hear from those who lived through that time. As a gay physician Dr. Millhoffer brings a perspective that we don't usually get to hear.

| 02 Jul 2021 | GR 52 Asexuality with Julie Sondra Decker | 00:49:25 | |
This episode is an interview with Julie Sondra Decker, author of "The Invisible Orientation: An Introduction to Asexuality." Most people acknowledge that sexual orientations includes homosexuals, bisexuals, and heterosexuals, but there is actually a fourth possibility. A person who identifies as asexual does not feel sexual attraction to anyone. Unfortunately, many assume that this represents a disease when actually it is part of normal human diversity. We discuss what asexuality IS as well as what it is NOT. Asexuality is about attraction NOT behavior. Our goal is to embrace human diversity and acknowledge that each person's identity should be respected as equally valid. If the idea of asexuality is new to you, I hope you will listen to this informative interview. Links and Resources:
