S1 E7 The view from outside my comfort zone

In this week's episode, recorded in front of a live audience at Franklin Pierce University, writer Anthony Payton discusses coming to grips with his hyper-masculine upbringing and embracing his stepson's identity and the LGBTQ+ community.

Anthony Payton is a freelance writer and father living in Manchester. He can be reached at anthony.payton@collaborativenh.org. This story is part of his project, The Common Ground Initiative which aims to highlight the diversity of our communities with stories of people the average Granite Stater might not get to see or meet. The goal is to clarify misconceptions and find the threads that bind us all together as one New Hampshire community.

The podcast is produced by Payton in partnership with The Granite State News Collaborative and the Marlin Fitzwater Center for Communications at Franklin Pierce University.
