Parents face a lot of scrutiny, especially queer parents and their rainbow families.

In their satirical picture book for adults, If Queers Weren’t Meant to Have Kids..., acclaimed Indigenous journalist Narelda Jacobs and her wife Karina Natt offer cheeky rebuttals to the intrusive questions and arguments queer families encounter. In this conversation, Narelda and Karina reflect on the making of the book and their own experiences fielding commentary from well-meaning, and otherwise, observers.

Join Narelda and Karina for a free, fun and thoughtful conversation.
