Talking LGBTQ Parenting, Performative Allyship, the Similarities Between Sports & Choir
Episode 9
Wednesday, 27 October, 2021

Brent Almond is the writer behind Designer Daddy and the artist behind Super Lunch Notes. Brent's blog covers pop culture, parenting and politics, often centered around his experience as a gay dad, but infused with humor, drink recipes and an occasional listicle. A while back, Brent posted on social media that while straight dads get lauded for playing dress up, no one gives him cookies for playing catch with his kid. Identifying this double standard led to a great conversation on performative allyship and advice for the straight parents of America. We also somehow ended up doing a lot of comparisons between rugby and choir. Believe me, it works.
