If These Ovaries Could Talkinactive

Publisher |: Jaimie Kelton

Media Type |: audio

Podknife tags |: Health,; LGBT,; Parenting,; Society & Culture

Categories Via RSS |: Health & Fitness,; Kids & Family,; Sexuality

The show all about family; but with gay! Queer mom, Jaimie Kelton, humorously goes in-depth with weekly LGBTQIA+ guests about their families; how they made them, and how they show up in a world that wasn't necessarily designed for them. The mission is to normalize, elevate and celebrate, while confirming that we're just like other parents, trying not to yell at our kids when they still haven't put their shoes on and we're 25 minutes late for school. The end result is a compelling podcast that amusingly explores the age-old question: what's it like to live as an LGBTQ family in a world built for the straights?
