I’m your host, Brooklyn Vennell, and in this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Rigel, a 64-year-old pansexual man who has lived boldly and authentically for decades. Rigel discovered who he was in his teens and explored his identity before, during, and after the AIDS epidemic. He shares his insights on embracing who you are without fear—especially in today’s world of instant validation and social media scrutiny. We also dive into politics, the power of your vote, and the importance of standing up for what you believe in. Rigel’s story is also one of deep love and loss, as he recounts a long-term relationship with a partner who was ultimately taken from him due to illness. His journey is one of resilience, passion, and unwavering strength. I truly enjoyed this conversation, and I hope you do too. Let’s get into it!…

Welcome to In Service to Rainbows ! I’m your host, Brooklyn Vennell, and in this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Jill, a thoughtful and passionate advocate for asexual visibility. Jill has been on a journey of self-discovery since she was 14, moving through different identities on the asexual spectrum—from demisexual to acespec to asexual. She believes in the power of labels to help people find belonging, but also in the freedom to change them as we grow. We dive into what it means to navigate the queer community as an asexual person, the struggle for full acceptance in LGBTQ+ spaces, and the importance of making room for all identities under our umbrella. Jill shares how, even after embracing a sapphic identity and marrying her wife, her ace identity remains central to her sense of self. She also opens up about being in a relationship with an allosexual partner and how mutual respect, boundaries, and consent have been key to creating a safe, loving, and validating marriage. This conversation is an insightful and important reminder that there’s no one way to be queer—and that every identity deserves respect and recognition. I can’t wait for you to hear Jill’s story. Let’s get into it!…

Welcome to Season 2 of In Service to Rainbows ! I’m your host, Brooklyn Vennell, and I’m so excited to continue bringing you the stories, struggles, and triumphs of the LGBTQ+ community. We are here, we are valid, and we are not going anywhere. Kicking off this season, we have a powerful and emotional conversation with Kermmitt, a gender-fluid human who has fought tirelessly for the medical care they deserve. Their journey has been filled with obstacles—from misdiagnoses to outright discrimination, including being referred to a medical professional who turned out to be a literal Nazi. Despite the initial pushback from their family, Kermmitt has since found acceptance and support. In this episode, we talk about gender dysphoria, the fight for bodily autonomy, and the heartbreaking failures of the medical system. There were tears, followed by my own anger at how poorly Kermmitt was treated—because everyone deserves love, respect, and proper care. The medical world needs to do better, and sharing these stories is how we push for change. Let’s get into it.…

I’m your host, Brooklyn Vennell, and today’s episode is a personal one as I sit down with my old friend Bear, someone I consider to be family. Bear is a fascinating character—he describes his sexuality as “wherever his genitals point to,” lives a polyamorous life with two other humans, and was my co-host on a kink podcast and two other shows. While Bear identifies as conservative and I lean left, our ability to challenge each other’s perspectives with love and understanding is what makes our bond so strong. In this episode, we dive into the messy state of U.S. politics and its impact on immigrants, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and especially transgender people. It’s a candid, insightful conversation with plenty of nuance, and I can’t wait for you to hear it. Let’s jump in!…
Welcome back to In Service to Rainbows , the podcast where we celebrate the rich, sometimes complex, and often humorous journeys within the LGBTQ+ community. I’m your host, Brooklyn Vennell, and today, I’m thrilled to share a conversation with Austin—a guest whose story had me laughing more than any other. Austin’s journey began with identifying as a lesbian, then transitioning to male, and now finding their truth as Non-Binary. We had a blast discussing everything from a pharmacy tech’s refusal to provide gender-affirming medication to how we can give people some grace when we come out. Of course, we touched on religion and how some teachings foster intolerance toward LGBTQ+ folks. We also dive into the dating world for trans people and laugh at the assumptions made by those overly fixated on gender and anatomy. This episode was an absolute joy to record and edit, and I think you’ll enjoy it just as much. Let’s dive into Austin’s story and the laughs that come with it!…
Welcome back to In Service to Rainbows , the podcast celebrating the diverse stories and resilience within the LGBTQ+ community. I’m your host, Brooklyn Vennell, and today we’re talking with Elliot, who also happens to be the husband of Christa, our wonderful guest from episode 2. Elliot’s journey began in the heart of the U.S. Bible Belt, where he was a deeply religious person planning to dedicate his life to faith. At the time, as a woman, Elliot discovered he was a lesbian, and this realization led to immediate rejection from his church and community. Following this painful experience, he faced mental health challenges, which ultimately opened the door to self-discovery, leading him to realize he was a trans man. Now happily living in Canada with Christa, Elliot has become a pillar of his community—a family man, a passionate advocate, a bit of a lovable brat, and, without question, one hell of a human being. Join us as Elliot shares his story of resilience, family, and finding his true self against the odds. Let’s dive in!…
Welcome back to In Service to Rainbows. I’m Brooklyn Vennell, and today we’re diving into an issue that’s become a defining struggle for so many in our community and beyond—the relentless politicization of LGBTQ+ people. This episode isn’t just about laws and debates in distant political offices. It’s about the very real lives impacted by these headlines and policies, our rights to exist freely, and the power we all hold to create a world where everyone can thrive, no matter who they are or who they love. These are my thoughts and I hope they resonate with you. Brooklyn…
Welcome back to In Service to Rainbows , the podcast where we explore the raw, inspiring journeys of the LGBTQ+ community. I’m your host, Brooklyn Vennell, and today, we’re joined by Castien, a courageous Female-to-Non-Binary queer person with a story of resilience, healing, and self-discovery. Castien’s journey includes time spent within the church, where they met a trans person for the first time. Sadly, when they disclosed sexual abuse, instead of support, they faced victim-blaming, prompting them to leave the church and embark on a challenging path of mental health recovery. This journey also led them to cut ties with toxic parents in pursuit of a healthier, more authentic life. Now married to a trans partner, Castien shares openly about their experiences with gender dysphoria, acceptance among family and friends, and their journey with hormone replacement therapy. In this conversation, they also graciously discuss the topic of surgery and what it’s meant for them. Castien’s strength and honesty are a beacon for others facing similar struggles. Let’s get started!…
Welcome back to In Service to Rainbows , where we continue to highlight the inspiring and diverse stories within the LGBTQ+ community. I’m your host, Brooklyn Vennell, and today, we’re honoured to have our first trans male guest on the show, Alex Myers. Alex is a young Female-to-Male Demi boy and panromantic individual who has faced numerous challenges growing up, particularly around his mental health. At just 13 years old, Alex struggled deeply with his identity and didn’t want to exist. He first came out to his father, who was understanding and supportive—helping Alex pick out masculine clothes, even while they were living in a homeless shelter. Unfortunately, Alex was bullied at school for wearing male clothes, and the school refused to use he/him pronouns, making an already difficult time even harder. In this episode, Alex opens up about not having started hormones yet, his hopes of considering surgery, and his journey toward simply existing and living his life authentically. We also dive into a discussion about intersex people and the intersections of their experiences with the broader LGBTQ+ community. Alex’s story is one of resilience and hope. Let’s dive in!…
