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 to a Special Episode of In Service to Rainbows Hello, beautiful souls, and welcome to In Service to Rainbows . I’m your host, Brooklyn Vennell, and today’s episode is unlike any other. This one comes straight from my heart—a love letter to my trans and rainbow community.

Love for myself, love for those who’ve supported me, and love for the incredible people who make up this community. This special episode is deeply personal. It’s a reflection on finding my way back to the people who understand me most, the strength we share in the face of adversity, and the power of love to push back against the darkness.

Welcome to In Service to Rainbows ! I’m your host, Brooklyn Vennell, and in this episode, I have the honor of speaking with Jamie Marie, a transgender woman who embraced her true self in the golden years of her life. Jamie Marie began her transition at 67, proving that it is never too late to live authentically. Her journey is one of both joy and sacrifice. Coming out brought her immense happiness but also led to the painful loss of a long marriage. Despite this, she persevered and found unwavering love and support from her two sons, their wives, and her grandchildren. Jamie Marie’s story is a powerful reminder that living as our true selves is always worth it, no matter when we begin. This conversation is filled with wisdom, resilience, and hope.

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.…

Jessie, a trans person I met at the Trans Day of Remembrance ceremony in London, has come out twice in their lifetime.

In addition to their inspiring personal story, Jessie is a gifted musician who finds joy and meaning in singing and playing music. This conversation is filled with positivity, grace, and passion, proving how transformative unconditional love can be. Let’s dive into Jessie’s story of triumph and joy!…

Welcome back to In Service to Rainbows , where we explore the many layers of the LGBTQ+ experience with empathy, authenticity, and a touch of humor. 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.

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.

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!…

Josi came out not once, but twice—first as a gay male, long before her transition to the woman she is today. Her journey is one of resilience, as she navigated drug addiction, found herself within religion, and eventually broke free from those constraints to live her truth. In this episode, we also dive into our shared experiences with surgeries, the effects of hormones, and the ways these aspects shape our lives. And finally, we talk about the world of drag performances and how they’re perceived today. Josi’s story is full of strength and self-discovery, and I’m thrilled to share it with you.
