Pride Special: Coming Out, Coming Through – A Conversation with Candace Macpherson
In this special Pride Month episode, Barb sits down with her dear friend and neighbour, Candace Macpherson, a proud lesbian and advocate for authenticity, visibility, and love. Candace shares her personal journey of coming out and living openly in a time when being LGBTQIA+ was far less accepted than it is today.
Candace and Barb reflect on the evolution of the language we use to refer to the LGBTQIA+ community. They speak on what’s changed, what still needs to change, and what it means to grow older as part of a community that’s still fighting for full equality.
Whether you’re LGBTQIA+ yourself, an ally, or simply curious about how far we've come, this episode is a powerful reminder of the resilience, courage, and love that have fueled decades of change.
