“Your program is saving my kid’s life.” 

Through mentorship, training and advocacy, Minnesota’s QUEERSPACE Collective creates a space where LGBTQ+ youth can show up as their authentic selves.

We recorded this episode a little over a week before the 2024 election, with major stakes for LGBTQ+ rights in the balance. We thought it was a good time to focus on the power of community and how we protect one another and stand together, which we’ll need to do regardless of election outcomes — our conversation with QUEERSPACE Collective executive director Nicki Hangsleben will give you a jolt of hope.
