'Looking Back Through This Queer, Non-Binary Lens' - with Holly Revell
Manage episode 426880663 series 2955439
One of the constant gifts of doing this show is the reminder of how privileged those of us who get to grow old are.
It’s easy to forget this in a world saturated with messages glorifying youth, but youth isn't always that great (sure, I still have crippling social anxiety, but I'm MUCH better at masking it now!).
So, getting the chance to talk to people who say, "I'm so glad I'm not the person I was at 20, 30, 40," is refreshing.
They still love the person they were, but they aren't in a hurry to go back to that time.
This week, I had the pleasure of speaking with the artist and photographer Holly Revell.
Holly spent much of their 20s and 30s as a self-described "f*g hag", always ready to party surrounded by a gaggle of gays.
But, now, looking back, they appreciate that part of their life but recognise they've outgrown the person they were.
We initially came together to talk about London's Black Cap, but our conversation went in many different directions.
You know it just goes that way sometimes, right?
