Critical Family History: The Mara Family and the Queer Experience

Critical Family History: The Mara Family and the Queer Experience

In this podcast, I discuss my grandmother Brigitte Manzow with my father. My grandmother was a closeted lesbian who had a complicated past with my father. In this interview we explore how my grandmother’s identity informed his view of LGBT people and how he has come to terms with his relationship with his mother.  In this episode, the following resources were used: McIntosh, P.
