  • 🎧 “Beyond the Rainbow: A Straight Talk on Queer Allyship”
    Jun 30 2025

    Guest: Shubhangi Gupta
    Host: Arpita Srivastava – Open Minds Podcast

    This Pride Month, we’re going beyond the rainbow 🌈 and diving into what real allyship looks like from someone who isn't queer — but is deeply committed to inclusion, empathy, and equity.

    Join us for a vulnerable and empowering conversation with Shubhangi Gupta, a cisgender, heterosexual woman who chooses to use her voice and privilege to stand with the LGBTQIA+ community.

    💬 In this episode:

    • What it means to be an active ally

    • Navigating privilege with responsibility

    • The legal and social gaps queer folks still face

    • How straight people can show up — not just speak up

    Whether you're an ally, part of the community, or just starting your journey — this episode will expand your perspective and challenge your comfort zone.

    🎙️ Listen now on Spotify.
    💡 Because inclusion isn’t a trend — it’s a choice.
