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)!!!
