QueerAF Podcast: Season 3, Episode 6 – Reporter Cassie Galpin explores just how safe public transport really is for LGBTQIA+ people, sharing the inspiring stories of those who’ve turned moments of hate into powerful acts of resilience and change – listen now
In this episode:
From the daily microaggressions many queer people experience to moments of prejudice and open hostility, public transport can be a space where simply being yourself feels unsafe. Reporter Cassie Galpin shares three interwoven stories of courage and response – how Will, Nikki, and Martyn each transformed hate and harassment into action.
Together, their stories show the strength of a community that refuses to be silenced or shamed – and remind us that visibility can be both powerful and vulnerable in public spaces.
With thanks to Gay Star News for allowing us to include a clip from their mini YouTube documentary on this topic, featuring Will.
Featuring:
- Cassie Galpin – Reporter
- Jamie Wareham - Journalist and broadcaster
