Expanding the Outdoors

We know that queer folks are getting outdoors in various ways, but there isn’t much out there that talks about how and why they get outdoors. Recognizing this gap, Expanding the Outdoors seeks to amplify LGTBQIA2+ voices in all things outdoors. During each session, we chat with different people to understand how they like to spend time outside, what barriers they face accessing the outdoors, times they have thrived, times they have faced oppression, and much more. We are dedicated to showcasing folks all across the outdoor spectrum to help pull the definition of an outdoorsy person away from its stereotype of a white, cis/het, hyper-masculine male. This podcast also takes an intersectional approach, as we recognize that folks hold multiple identities. It is important to make space and talk about how those identities impact their relationship with the great outdoors. Want to share your story?
