#11 Lewis Laney on coming out at school aged 14 & what it's like to have a gay dad

Series 3 is here!!!!! New music, updated artwork & most importantly eight new coming out stories. And my first guest of the series is the author Lewis Laney.

Lewis had his first short story published in Gay Times, when he was just eighteen. He’s also written for various publications including the iconic magazine ‘The Face’. Lewis has just released his first book ‘The Little Book of Pride' which is a digestible, pocket-sized look at the history of Pride. I think this book is going to be a really welcome addition to lots of people's libraries and will help the message of Pride reach an even wider audience.

Lewis also has another book set for release next year. It’s entitled ‘Queer Cocktails’ and it includes such recipes as a Bloody Mariah, a La Isla Bonita Iced Tea & a Cider Minelli amongst many others!!! It almost feels as if the book was especially written for me & I will definitely be getting a copy upon it's release.

The podcast was recorded remotely of course with me in Ireland and Lewis in London.

We chatted about

  • what inspired Lewis to write a book on pride.
  • our 90's crushes
  • our love of Big & Smash-Hits magazines(!!)
  • how being friends with certain people at school protected him from bullies
  • how his parents discovered he was gay
  • what it's like having a gay dad

and his incredible bravery for coming out aged just 14, whilst still at school and in the mid-nineties.
