Queer people have always been here. In Call Me Mother, author and journalist Shon Faye takes us into the lives of LGBTQIA+ trailblazers who have something important, interesting or enlightening to say about what it means to be queer in the world today.

One week it’s a lesbian author and activist who considered parachuting into Whitney Houston's wedding. The next it's a legendary drag queen who got sampled on a Beyoncé track. Through these conversations, Call Me Mother aims to deepen our understanding of LGBTQ+ experiences through the life stories of those who got there first, and show that all of us – queer or not – belong to a much richer history than we're often told.
