I'm Sally and I host Oh Hey, Gays. What's it about? Me and a bunch of pals discussing mostly queer culture. There's also some history and some current affairs. There's some talk about porn and sexual health and lgbtiq style. Also a lot of talk about the film 'Carol' and also a lot of people trying to stop me talking about the film 'Carol'. Most of all just a lot of talk about what it's like to be queer in 2018.

So this week Sarah and I take a look at Martina Navratilova's recent comments about trans people in sport. She says that “Letting men compete as women simply if they change their name and take hormones is unfair — no matter how those athletes may throw their weight around,” Navratilova wrote. ​So Sarah and I take a look at that. Is she out of her m…

Hey so this episode my friend Brooke and I went to talk to the incredibly talented, Handsome.

She gave her time and her thoughts on life to us so freely that when we left w…

This week Sarah and I talk about gay slang. Well, derogatory words I guess. Is it appropriate for LGBTQI people to use derogatory terms with each other? Or should we not use them at all? And how do you feel when straight people use them? ​I think we can and should use them, but maybe you don't? Ya'll know Sarah probably doesn't think we should. ​It…

So anyone that knows me, knows how much I love drag queens. I follow a few on Instagram and am an absolute devotee of RuPaul's Drag Race. ?One of the Queens I follow is Kari Kerning and I've been busting to speak to her for so long.

Hey guys, first up I'd like to say how lucky I feel to do this podcast. I've met some of the best people doing it and Eleanor is one of them. ?She's one of those kinds of people who dream really big and actually set out to do what they dream about. She also inspires a serious amount of people along the way. She recently competed in the Great Pacifi…

Guess what, everyone?! Even if you're part of the LGBTQI community, you still have rights! Astonishing isn't it? ?Having recently experienced my own very special kind of discrimination, and discrimination in the past, I was keen to shine a light on what rights we actually have in Australia. Turns out, there are a few. From workplace situations to f…

So I saw this Ted Talk a few months ago and was incredibly moved by Morgana's story. So much so that I immediately had to contact her and ask her to come on my podcast. ?Her talk is called "The Danger of Hiding Who You Are" and in it, she comes out to an audience full of her colleagues. ?As moving as that is, it's the story of why she decided to co…

You can be! ?With so much going on around the world lately in regard to LGBTQI rights, we need all the support we can get. ?On this episode, Sarah and I discuss the logistics of being a straight ally, how you can do it and how you can do it well.

This week I sat down with two of my favourite homosexuals, my pals Nicole and Jarrad to talk about rainbow families. We are all parents but have all taken VERY different paths to form our families and it's interesting to learn about our differences. ?I think we often hear a lot of critical talk about LGBT families but I'm here to tell you - there's…

Shea Diamond. It’s hard to even know where to start but to say she’s completely blown me away would be an understatement. As soon as I saw the video clip for her acoustic version of ‘American Pie’ I knew I had to move mountains to speak to her. And mountains I moved. She shares stories about growing up, being trans, going to prison and what it mean…

So Sarah and I were both really lucky to sit down with living legend, Miss Coco Peru recently. ?Sarah and I are huge fans and it made sense that she would be the icing on the cake for Season 2. ?Coco is without a doubt one of the greatest performers in the industry.

So when I saw a picture of Terri Butler living her best life at Mardi Gras, I knew I wanted to interview her for the podcast. ?She's one of those people that you could sit and talk to for hours.

Ya’ll some thirsty bitches for our Monique Brumby episode. Turns out - you all bloody loved it.I had so many emails and messages that I literally could not believe what was happening. Every day someone told me how much they loved the interview and begged me to do another one. Full disclosure - I could literally talk to her everyday so you weren’t t…

Religion is one of those funny things, isn't it. I've known a lot of people who really struggle with their beliefs and their sexuality, as if the two cannot exist together. Some people think you can only have one or the other which seems kind of crazy to me. ?I'm not a religious person but I'm so interested in what religion can and does do to the m…

Hey pals, so I'm going to start doing a lot more episodes where we share stories about people's lives. Ever since interviewing Rodney Croome, I've realised the more we share our stories, the less fear some people have about our lives. ?I was really lucky to sit down with the super cool Jaxxon Chilli this week and listen to his trans story. Jaxxon r…

Full disclosure - I was moved beyond belief to hear Rodney talk about his life of activism and to hear what Tasmania was like when I was growing up. ?Before I spoke to him, I thought I knew about what he'd done for the LGBTQIA community but believe me, I didn't. ?He was right there in the fight for rights when people were calling for the death pena…

LGBTQI icons. They're everywhere! It seems like everyone is or is vying to be an icon to our amazing community. ?But what makes an icon? Can they be straight? Or should we focus more on our community? Is 'fabulous' the only credential? Or should we want more from our icons? ?This episode Sarah and I discuss our personal icons; that time I asked Tra…

You might know her from 'I kissed a girl'. Or you might know her from being one of the greatest artists of all time. ?There's no denying how fantastic Jill Sobule is.

So June is Pride month and along with the celebrations and the conversations, I thought it would be a good opportunity to delve into the history of Pride. Why do we have Pride? Where did it all begin? Is it important and relevant for today? I'm sure you've all heard of the Stonewall riots in New York in 1969. These riots catapulted #lgbtq rights in…

Yes, it's time for the sexual health episode. ?There has been some talk that kids in school aren't getting a proper education when it comes to sex education. It's a big issue. We don't touch on it at all. ?Sarah talks to us about an adventure she had after a condom broke and I reminisce about the time my mum told me about the birds and the bees. ?Y…

Did you know that young LGBTQI people are 5 times more likely to commit suicide? Or that transgender people 18+ are nearly 11 times more likely to commit suicide? And that's not even the half of it. ?Mental health is a big deal and we need to take care of each other. This episode Sarah and I talk about our own experience with mental health - I disc…

Politics. Yawn. Old people insulting each other in parliament and thinking they know best when making decisions about our lives.?So how important is it to be a political gay? Do we even have a choice? How much change can we actually bring by marching and campaigning? ?I'm also lucky enough to have a chat with Sally Rugg - prominent lesbian & IMO th…

You can’t deny that fashion and style have always played a large part in the queer community. Oppression and forced secrecy in the face of homophobic communities has meant that queer people have always had to know how to read clothing more carefully. I've always loved those stories about identifying gay men by wearing a red tie between 1920 and 195…

Gays! On film! Shut up and take my money! I want to see them all and I want to see them all the time! How great does it feel when you hear there's a movie coming out that focuses on gay people?! My heart soars. Or even better - when you don't realise there are going to be gay characters and you're totally taken off guard (hello, Atomic Blonde). ?It…

I’ve never watched porn or really been interested in it but found myself on a wild ride through the middle of it recently. Which made me think - it’s a multi-billion dollar industry that nobody talks about! In Queensland alone, people spend an average of 9 minutes watching porn with the most popular scenarios being lesbian and step mum. It’s got me…

If you've come to this podcast to receive advice on how to keep a genuine, human connection between you and another person alive, you're probably going to be disappointed. ?If you've come here listen to stories about my toilet of a love life and how you can take active steps to avoid my mistakes, you're in luck! ?Also we'll be talking relationships…

We've all come out of the closet. Sometimes there are open arms waiting to catch you and sometimes there's a wild mob with fire and pitchforks, hoping to scare you back in. Sigh. ?It's also not something that happens once. You could potentially have to come out all over again every time you make a change in your life. It can be a tough gig. ?This i…
