Taylor Matkins

Hi!  My name is Taylor Matkins (she/her pronouns).  I am from North Carolina and have lived in Utah for 7 years.  I came out as lesbian when I was a senior in college.  Following the lesbian stereotype, my first girlfriend was my college softball teammate.  I was very blessed to have accepting, loving parents.  Fast forward to today, I am engaged to a beautiful ex-Mormon woman.  Navigating her family’s religion and family views is a constant part of our relationship.  They have made tremendous progress through the last 5 years of our relationship but acceptance is something we talk about constantly.  As one of the founders of Lucky Ones Coffee, education and acceptance is crucial.  Our pride flag in the store says come as you are.  You belong here.  Ask me anything.  I am an open book and excited to share my story with all of you.
