Um, [lips smack] and, you know, Mama Dragons is a new partner org which I'm so excited about.

They're a national ... association of, of fierce mamas, like, just going to bat for LGBTQ+ rights and, like, they have a really incredible platform, and so we're getting access to that.

So just really bringing in all these incredible partners like HRC also.

Hi, everyone.

I'm your host, Shannon Manon.

I'm a Mama Dragon myself, and I'm so happy to be on this journey right alongside you.

Their unique brand of authenticity, truth-telling, and radiant inclusivity absolutely sparkles.

PJ, through their nonprofit Baby Gay, is bringing something brand new to the table that we're going to dig into, and I can't wait.

A partnership between Baby Gay and Mama Dragons around something called the Welcome Wagon Box, a care package for anyone, anywhere who just came out.

PJ is an Out 100 honoree and Webby Award honoree for their podcast, Baby Gay, which celebrates coming out stories, advocacy, and togetherness.

Hello, Mama Dragons.

And it's really beautiful when someone is able to really put their family before put the safety and soundness and their love for their family members ahead of this sort of like religious teaching or religious belief that they don't quite know how to wrap their head around or they don't know how to face.

You remember when we had Wendy and Tom on back in the day and Wendy talked about founding the Mama Dragons.

Yeah.

It's a really beautiful response from a lot of Mormon mothers to say, hey, look, I've thought a certain way my whole life.
