"I was probably eight the first time they told us gay people went to hell" - with Brooke Eden
Nigel's guest today is Brooke Eden, country music singer and songwriter.
These days Brooke is a proud gay woman, married to the woman of her dreams and able to sing about her love, life and relationship to her masses of fans with a feeling of beautiful authenticity.
But when she was growing up in Florida dreaming of a career in music she had to keep her feelings hidden – because of religion and because of fear of rejection. Country music and queerness are not the easiest of combinations and for many years, Brooke hid her sexuality fearful of potential backlash. But after finding fame on American Idol and being heralded by the world of country music Brooke decided to publicly come out in 2021 to show the world her real identity. It was the moment her life changed.
This series is a celebration of a beautiful queer community; people of all ages, people who have had to tread their own path to live their real truth, who have fought with their emotions and emerged victorious, who inspire, who aspire and always entertain. Hosted by Nigel May. Every week, Nigel speaks to a person from the LGBTQ+ rainbow to hear their story; one person, one life, one conversation. And guaranteed, a Gay Old Time!
