Queer Goggles
Dean Jackson
In this episode of Queer Goggles, we're talking with Dean Jackson, the Program Director of HIV Services at The Source LGBT+ Center. In our conversation, we go over the many, many things that the HIV Services Program provides, the misconceptions about HIV, Substance Use Disorder, and how they intersect. And we discuss the importance of having not only LGBTQ+ and HIV-specific supportive programs in place, but also the importance of emphasizing that everyone is welcome through the doors at The Source. "You don't have to be out to come in."
