To prepare for my mum’s gay wedding, I talked to her about sexuality for the first time

QueerAF Podcast: Season 4, Episode 1 – To kick off our fourth season, journalist Eve Hartley sits down with her mum ahead of her same-sex wedding to talk, for the first time, about what life was like when she came out 20 years ago, and what’s changed since – listen now

In this episode: 

Before celebrating her mum’s wedding, Eve Hartley has the kind of conversation they’ve never had before. Together, they reflect on what it was like for her mum to come out two decades ago, when Eve was just a few years old – the fear of being seen differently, the courage to be herself, and whether she faced any sacrifices along the way.

Eve also reflects on her own journey to understanding sexuality. It’s a heartfelt, funny, and moving conversation about love, acceptance, and the changing ways we talk about queerness across generations.

And before the big day, Eve gets to tell her mum something she’s always felt: that she’s her ultimate queer icon.
