Show Notes

In this episode of Small Town Girl, Gwen sits down with Dr. Jim Mark Ingram, an allergy physician who spent much of his life hiding a fundamental part of who he was. Growing up in a small, conservative Arkansas town and a Southern Baptist family, Jim knew from a young age that he was gay, but he didn't have the language, community or understanding to make sense of those feelings. What happens when the life you've built no longer matches the person you know yourself to be?
