The One That Got A Gay

Author: The One That Got A Gay

Have you ever found yourself in hot water playing it straight? Ever fallen in love with a gay person without realising it? Hear the other side of the story on The One That A Got A Gay as we explore the lives of gay, lesbian and other LGBTQ people who spent years playing straight only to turn their lives upside down by coming out later in life. Statistics show the average age at which people come out is now 17. TOTGAG explores why there are so many people of that generation still coming out well in to their 20s, 30s and sometimes even later and how having to play straight has influenced them and the people around them.Each week, Emily and Alex delve in to a different persons coming out story to understand the impact of being LGBTQ in a straight world and what theyve learnt from years of being in the closet. Expect laughs, sobs and some great/terrible advice from our co-hosts and some compelling stories from our brave and wonderful guests.

#10 - Lord Ivar Mountbatten: I just buried it.
Episode 1
Monday, 13 December, 2021

Fix up, look sharp listeners, we have (extended) royalty in the house! 👑 This week we are joined by the charming and wonderfully candid Lord Ivar Mountbatten, first cousin once removed to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh and third cousin one removed to Her Majesty The Queen. 💂🏻‍♂️As the only openly-gay member of the extended royal family, Ivar shares an entirely unique perspective on what it is like to be gay in 21st century Britain. From Gordonstoun (posh!) to Bridwell Park (his country estate), Ivar talks to us about his experience of being gay in the aristocracy, the role his former wife played in helping him to live his truth and the advice he has for people of his generation struggling with their own sexuality. 🏳️‍🌈What a guy, and what a privilege to spend some time with him. Thank you Ivar! ✨The One That Got A Gay explores the lives of gay, lesbian and other LGBTQ+ people who spent many years living straight lives all the while knowing that’s not necessarily who they truly were.A resource for anyone struggling with their own sexuality or the sexuality of a friend or family member and a guide for allies looking to support people in the process of coming out.
