This is a section of an interview Bebo Bharwani had with the beloved poet Pádraig Ó Tuama.
The conversation covered several topics such as Pádraig’s journey of coming out as a gay man within a faith system that tried to “repair” him, the question of how does one contend for members of the LGBTQIA community.
In the full interview, they also talked about conflict management, the power of language, and the need to find meaning and belonging.
