When a nice Irish Catholic queer ‘boy’ falls in love with a nice English Jewish queer ‘boy’ he frets about whether if he should change Gods too. TV Presenter/Producer SIMON ATKINS decided to check it out see if there’s more to the issue than just undergoing an (extremely painful) adult circumsion.

The incredibly talented actress Mya Taylor who burst onto our screen with her sensational award-winning performance in Tangerine 5 years ago, is back and starring in Thom Fitzgerald ‘s delightful queer feel-good drama Stage Mother The Movie. Provincetown Film Society & Festival are not only screening the film as part of their Virtual Festival but have given Mya their prestigious New Wave Award.

Unassuming Matt Mahmood-Ogston is an unlikely LGBTQ hero, and even though he may deny it, he is exactly that. He turned the tragic death of his long-time fiance Dr Naz Mahmood into creating the Naz-Matt Foundation to stop religious homophobe.
