About this episode
When people say mean or ignorant things to you or about you, you probably respond like most people. You get angry. It’s the natural reaction. But Rain Dove doesn’t and it’s glorious. Rain is a model who models both men’s and women’s products. And since building their platform, they’ve become a sort of unofficial queer Dear Abby, opening up their inbox to everyone from young queer folks to angry non-allies, answering vitriol with humor and compassion and giving really solid advice along the way.Be sure to follow Rain on IG!
Your host is Levi Chambers, co-founder of Gayety.
