My guest this week is Harvey Brownstone, who in 1995 became Canada’s first openly gay judge. Focusing his career on family law, Harvey helped shine a spotlight on Canada as a destination for same-sex couples to wed before it was legal in the US. But before all that, he was a young gay kid who’d been thrown out of the house, struggling through school, living on welfare, and searching for others like him.
We’ll have that conversation in a minute. First just want to let you know that we’re gearing up for the release of my book, Hi Honey I’m Homo, on May 23rd. It’s all about the history of queer characters on sitcoms, and you can pre-order now at gaysitcoms.com. As the book release approaches, there may be a few gaps in the podcast release schedule — but I’m hoping to keep those to a minimum. Thanks for your patience, thanks to everyone who’s pre-ordered already!
