  • Gay to Ze: A Guide to LGBTQ+ Parenting | Part 1

    Has it seriously taken this long for an A to Z on queer parenting?! Today we are joined by Lotte Jeffs and Stu Oakley, the fabulous team behind the Some Families and From Gay to Ze podcasts, and the new book The Queer Parent: Everything You Need to Know From Gay to Ze. We discuss the underrepresentation of parenting for queer women, distasteful analogies of infertile eggs, and how to use WhatsApp to dismantle the patriarchy! Plus, will Stu’s son marry Prince George?

Alex’s new novel More Me With You is the trans romcom we have ALL been hoping for. Tune in as we discuss the trans male experience on hookup apps as well as how iconic shows such as Shameless, Orange Is The New Black and Heartstopper have shaped LGBTQ+ representation on screen.
