Safe To Serve, Safe To Be

In this episode of The Cocoon, Ruby is joined by Hamish Whelan from ACON — a passionate advocate working within emergency response to create safer, more inclusive environments for LGBTQIA+ communities. Together, they explore what it means to feel safe to serve and safe to be, even in systems that weren’t built with queer people in mind. This conversation is about quiet resistance, systemic change, and the radical act of showing up as your whole self. For anyone who’s ever felt unseen in uniform, or unsafe in their truth — this one’s for you.
