    Chaps Out Culture: guest Dave Kenealy recommends 3 Gay True Stories

    In this episode of Chaps Out Culture, host Grant Philpott is joined by #ChapsOut guest Dave Kenealy who reflects on three powerful films based on true stories: Milk, The Matthew Shepard Story, and Boy Erased. Each film tells the story of a gay man whose life ended tragically- through violence, prejudice, or systemic harm- yet whose stories continue to matter. Dave explores why these lives should not be forgotten, what their stories reveal about intolerance, and how tragedy can still lead to awareness, change, and progress. This is a thoughtful conversation about legacy, injustice, parental responsibility, community, and the importance of standing up for the rights and dignity of others. If you’re passionate about queer culture, LGBTQ+ history, meaningful conversations, or uncovering hidden cultural treasures, this episode is made for you.

    Coming Out at 55: Dave Kenealy | CHAPS OUT

    In this episode of Chaps Out, host Grant Philpott is joined by Dave Kenealy, who shares his story of coming out as a gay man at 55 after marriage, fatherhood, and a career in. Dave  Police work. He reflects on growing up in a time when being gay was not socially acceptable, the pressure to live the life he thought was expected of him, and the emotional weight of carrying that secret for so long. He speaks candidly about his marriage, the difficult but compassionate conversations that followed his coming out, and the relief of finally being able to live as his true self. The conversation also explores Dave’s experiences serving in the Metropolitan Police during an era of open hostility towards gay men, the lasting impact of those attitudes, and how social change has shaped both his journey and the lives of younger generations today.

This episode is a moving reminder that sexuality is just one part of who we are, and that it’s never too late to choose honesty, self-acceptance, and a life lived on your own terms.

    Chaps Out Culture: Rob Eadsforth on Cucumber & Love Is Strange

    In this episode of Chaps Out Culture, host Grant Philpott is joined once again by previous Chaps Out guest, Rob Eadsforth, to talk about two pieces of queer culture that deeply resonated with him at a very specific moment in his life. Rob reflects on discovering LGBTQ+ film and television later in life, and how certain stories finally felt relatable in a way others never had.Rob discusses Love Is Strange, a moving film about an older gay couple played by Alfred Molina and John Lithgow, whose long-term relationship is tested by circumstance. He explains why seeing a loving, intimate relationship between two older men on screen mattered to him, describing it as one of the few films he’s watched that he genuinely “enjoyed from the gay perspective”. The focus on tenderness, companionship and quiet resilience struck a chord, offering representation that often feels missing. The conversation then turns to Cucumber, Russell T Davies’ acclaimed TV series, which Rob first watched when he had just come out. He talks about recognising himself in the nervous, inexperienced central character, someone “quite new to gay culture” and still trying to work things out. Watching the character navigate relationships, intimacy and uncertainty mirrored Rob’s own learning curve at the time, making it feel both comforting and affirming. Throughout the episode, Rob reflects on why some well-known queer dramas didn’t connect with him, while others arrived at exactly the right moment. This is a thoughtful, personal discussion about representation, timing, and how queer culture can help us understand ourselves better, especially when coming out later in life. It’s a gentle reminder of the power of seeing your own experiences reflected back to you, and how culture can quietly support confidence, self-acceptance and emotional wellbeing.

    Coming Out at 55: Rob Eadsforth | CHAPS OUT

    In this episode of Chaps Out, host Grant Philpott is joined by Rob Eadsforth, a 66-year-old Bristol resident who came out later in life and speaks with warmth, honesty and humour about what it really means to finally live as yourself. Born and bred in Preston and raised in a very different era, Rob reflects on decades of repression, fear and invisibility before deciding at 55 that “life is short” and it was time to stop hiding. The conversation covers later-life coming out, men’s mental wellbeing, relationships, sexual confidence and learning to be bold without shame. Rob speaks candidly about sexual health, responsibility and education, discussing regular testing, PrEP, and how ignorance around HIV and AIDS shaped his earlier fears. Visiting sexual health clinics, he says, is simply “a responsible thing to do”, and part of caring for yourself and others. This is a thoughtful, funny and deeply human conversation about older gay love, missed time, second chances and self-acceptance. It’s an episode for anyone who has ever felt unsure, or afraid to take that first step – and a reminder that it’s never too late to say, “now I am what I want to be.”  This episode is for anyone quietly questioning who they are, caught between fear and honesty, or wondering whether it’s ever too late to truly live as themselves.

    Chaps Out Culture: Joel Briant on My Beautiful Launderette

    In this episode of Chaps Out Culture, we’re joined once again by Joel Briant, who shares a deeply personal and heartfelt reflection on the 1985 classic My Beautiful Laundrette. Joel talks about rediscovering the film years after its release, the impact of seeing a tender love story between two men at a time when representation was rare, and why Daniel Day-Lewis’s performance left such a lasting impression. From cultural and family pressures to the quiet joy the characters bring to each other, this conversation explores how the film resonated with Joel as a young gay man — and why it still matters today. We also reflect on how attitudes have changed, the fear and secrecy many LGBTQ+ people grew up with, and how liberating it feels to now watch queer stories openly and unapologetically. Honest, nostalgic, funny, and moving, this is a celebration of a film that helped many people realise they weren’t alone. Whether you’re revisiting My Beautiful Laundrette or discovering it for the first time, this episode is a reminder of the power of cinema, representation, and living your truth.
