Queerstories

Four scenes from a journey to parenthood: the terrors, tensions and tenderness of falling into parenthood from the margins. Gala Vanting works to create nuanced, compassionate, justice driven dialogue about sexual culture, sex education, gender and power, and access to embodiment and wellbeing for our gendered and sexual selves.  They have spent 15 years working in this field – which has manifested through writing, speaking, filmmaking, performance, facilitating discussions and experiences for individuals and groups, and working as an advocate, activist and peer in alternative sexual cultures and in the mainstream.
