"I Am Valid" with Devin Preston Kayleen Jean Johnson

Devin Preston
Executive Program Assistant at Encircle

Talking with Devin was eye-opening. She is wonderful and I’m grateful for the opportunity I had to talk with her and hear her story.

I know I am going to sound so extremely naive, but I never thought about abuse in homosexual relationships. Being raised in the LDS church, it wasn’t exactly something I had much experience with. But of course it makes sense. Why would a homosexual relationship be any different than a heterosexual relationship?

I wrote this in the show notes for Episode 013 from season 1, but again, if you are being abused in a relationship, get help. Please. You do not, I say again, do NOT deserve to be treated that way. You deserve safety and happiness. Never settle for less than that!
