    Switching Seats. My son Dave (the attorney) decides to interview ME for this podcast. Nothing like putting one's gay Dad on the hotseat!

    The last two weeks, I visited my middle son Dave, his wife Meredith and my two grandsons Henry and Jack at their home in Dartmouth MA.

    Dave is a good sport.  He agreed to be interviewed for my podcast.  After we were finished, he told me that it was now my turn and that he was going to interview ME for a podcast episode!

    I was surprised at what I was feeling at first.  I guess I was afraid of what he might ask.  After all, he IS an attorney and he's be putting me on the stand, so to speak.  LOL.

    But as I thought about it and mentioned to my friend and energy guru Mark Hollenstein, he encouraged me to do it.  He thought it would be good for both of us.

    Before this interview, I had a little time to reflect and one of the things thatI realized was that I knew virtually nothing about my own father (or his father).  What a gift it would have been to have been able to sit my own "Pop" down and ask him a bunch of questions.    So we did the interview.  I kind of figured that it would be a gift to each of us.

    I had no idea what Dave would ask me.  There were some interesting questions and I'm pretty sure that he got some interesting answers.  Like:  "Whoa.  No, I did not know that grandma used to be an underwear model before she met your Dad and then she became a radio preacher"!

    It's a light-hearted interview with a lot of interesting questions.  I appreciate the time Dave took in preparing to participate.

    Listen in to our bantering, interspersed with some great dialogue.

    An Interview with my middle son: Dave Wilkinson. We chat about his journey from each of our perspectives, his family, his business and his perspective when I came out to him as a gay man in 1999.

    An Interview with my middle son: Dave Wilkinson. We chat about his journey from each of our perspectives, his family, his business and his perspective when I came out to him as a gay man in 1999.

    In this episode, I interview one of my favorite people in this world: my son David. 

    Two people can experience the exact same event and yet they can have two different perspectives on what happened.  So we discuss what I saw as an amazing turnabout in his life from a very average high school student, to his life now as an attorney with multiple law offices on both coasts.

    He talks about his current life as a married man and dad and we share some memories of his life growing up.

    Lastly, we discuss what it was like for him when I came out as a gay man in 1999.

     I hope you enjoy this rather personal look into my life as a father to this amazing man.

    In Eriks Own Words:

    My name is Erik Alexander and my husband and I are from New Orleans, Louisiana. We have two independently assertive daughters and an eager baby boy trying to keep up with his sisters.

    We strongly feel that as an LGBTQ family, especially in the south, it's important for us and others like us to help light the way for the ones that need hope. We live in an incredibly divisive time and right now visibility is critical to help destigmatize and normalize same-sex families.

    We love our children just as any other straight family does, if not more than some.
    Just like them, we would do anything on Earth for our babies. We do that every single day, regardless if we are two dads.

    It is my mission to broaden the one-sided view of the stereotypical American family. We too are living the American dream. We are the new normal, a loving family that teaches our children acceptance of all walks of life and the importance of being kind to one another.
    ​Our place in this world is earned, not owed.

    My hope is that through my blog, Nolapapa.com, I am able to bury my insecurities, my fears, and my failures- for all to read, in hopes to see my weaknesses sprout and transform into self-improvement, and resilience, and embrace an unapologetic renewal. My past helped make me who I am today- but who I am tomorrow depends on how I choose to get there, today.

    I've said before that my Iranian friend Ideene Dehdashti is a bit wild and crazy. True to form, she didn't fail this last week - she switched things up and insisted on interviewing ME! Here we go....

    I've said before that my Iranian friend Ideene Dehdashti is a bit wild and crazy.  True to form, she didn't fail this last week - she switched things up and insisted on interviewing ME!  Here we go....

    She's Iranian and she's opinionated.  After I interviewed Ideene for the last podcast episode, she insisted on switching mics and put me in the hot seat so she could interview me.  Here's the result.

    Audrey O'Brian: Emancipating herself truly created Heaven.

    Audrey O'Brian: Emancipating herself truly created Heaven.

    Even before her birth, Audrey’s family system was quite unique and somewhat divided.  One side of her family being very orthodox Mormon and the other side being less traditional, her Grandmother a feminists in nature, and then later having her father and mother divorced as her father came out as being gay.

    Having her family be so secretive about her youth, Audrey was forced to really do her own diving into her healing & her personal work to find true peace. 

    Her story is both heartfelt and painful to listen to as she went through some pretty difficult and challenging circumstances through her youth. Being sexually abused by her step-uncle, then being taken to the bishop instead of counseling as she needed to repent for her sins to becoming pregnant at 16 years old and being kicked out and many other things that pull at your heart. Audrey shares her beautiful story of a emancipation from her religion and her family of origin.

    Choosing Parenthood   |   Gays With Kids

     We spend a lot of time discussing the joys and struggles that come with parenthood, but we rarely take the time to explore the choice one makes to enter the club. For many of us, the path to parenthood was not an easy or straight-forward journey... but that's especially true for members of the LGBTQ community.
