00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:25.959

00:00:33.830 --> 00:00:37.590
<v Speaker 1>Since coming out, I've learned that there are queer things,

00:00:37.659 --> 00:00:42.810

00:00:43.340 --> 00:00:45.349

NOTE CONF {"raw":[99,99,99,99,99]}

00:00:51.139 --> 00:00:54.270
<v Speaker 1>And that's the reality that queer folks live with in

00:00:54.279 --> 00:00:57.779
<v Speaker 1>a world where being straight is the norm, queerness and

00:00:57.790 --> 00:01:02.790

NOTE CONF {"raw":[99,99,99,99,99]}

00:01:08.360 --> 00:01:11.580

00:01:55.669 --> 00:01:59.779

00:01:59.790 --> 00:02:02.300

NOTE CONF {"raw":[99,99,99,99,99,99]}

00:02:11.910 --> 00:02:13.600

00:02:38.470 --> 00:02:41.919
