Their first book, Diary of a Drag Queen, was longlisted for the Polari First Book Prize 2020.This month sees the release of their second book: “First Comes Love: On Marriage and Other Ways of Being Together”. It’s a witty and incisive exploration of what marriage means along the whole spectrum of sexuality and class. They look at why people get married - for security, romance, or celebration, and why others see taking part in this deeply binary, normative system problematic in itself, examining what the future looks like for this historic and universal institution.Follow Tom: @tomglitterBuy their book: https://bit.ly/3xuAIhXFind me @VenetiaLaManna and follow the show @ATSTpodcast.This podcast was edited and produced by Venetia La Manna and co-produced by Holly Falconer.
