Ep. 14 Creating an Empowering Community with Todd Brandon Morris
Welcome to Have a Blessed Gay, your weekly spiritual-comedy podcast! Join holy host, Tyler Martin, as he critically discusses social norms, current events, mental health, religion, and spirituality from an outcast's perspective. In this episode, Tyler chats with Todd Brandon Morris, founder of Out-Fit! Founded in 2014 in NYC, Out-Fit’s mission is to encourage athletes within CrossFit to achieve extraordinary physical goals while maintaining mental health and promoting social equality. They also have an athletic clothing line that includes proud apparel to embody those principles. Tyler talks with Todd about when he was shunned by his family and community, Jehovah’s Witnesses, after coming out to them as gay, the challenges he then faced mentally and emotionally, and how he created Out-Fit to cultivate a safe, uplifting community for LGBTQ+ individuals.
