Major Trigger Warning!

In this episode, I go through and summarise the second section of Matthew Todd's book 'Straight Jacket: Overcoming Society's Legacy of Gay Shame'. The second section is entitled Escape and consists of 8 Chapters, which I go through in sequence.

These chapters cover a lot of tough topics and tackles some dense subject matter. Throughout, I relate my experience to what it is discussing and give my own interpretations and opinions on what is being discussed.

As such, with such dense subject matter, this episode is a long one and I expect the next will be too. Another episode is to come from this three-parter which will cover the last section: Rescue.

I found this section of the book genuinely difficult to read at times because it is so thorough in its approach and layout of these issues. Regardless, I enjoyed it and found it's logical approach very refreshing. Hopefully, that comes across in this episode. Thanks for listening! :)
