Recently I had the pleasure of being a guest on The Quest of Life radio program with Harry Faddis and Steve Simms. The topic was something that is near and dear to my heart as I live it everyday: “being a co-parent of two children. GLBT people and Family Values.”
The Quest of Life is a radio program focusing on people who are leading lives of inspiration, with a special emphasis on spirituality. They are especially interested in exploring the lives and stories of gay men and lesbians who are involved in the world and human struggles. The program features music by OUT musicians as well.
Take a listen to the interview at this link.
It is also available on the Quest of Life Podcast in iTunes.
