I'm Coming Out The Podcast

Miscellaneous


Spencer is a twenty-two year old podcaster & blogger from Wales. I came across him when I started listening to his podcast Queer Talk, which he hosts with his two friends James & Mufseen. It focuses on the positive news happening within the LGBTQ+ community which definitely makes for a refreshing listen. His blog For the Love of Queers is a brilliant resource for LGBTQ+ history & activism & I’ve certainly learnt a whole lot myself since I started following it. The interview was of course recorded remotely; me in Dublin, Spencer in Manchester. We chatted about; why Spencer is driven through his work to shine a spotlight on the more positive aspects of our community the events from his childhood which made him think he might be gay why he didn’t want to be the first person to come out at school how he avoided a planned homophobic attack on him at school why he wasn’t happy with his friends reactions when he came out how he coped with those dreaded P.E. lessons and lots of other things (you’ll also hear my gay gasp once or twice)!!!
