Benjamin Law is a writer, broadcaster, television creator and producer, and refined homosexual about town in Sydney. He's also a former competitor on Australian Survivor – important.
If you haven't already, I implore you to read some of Ben's sharp, warm, illuminating writing.
There's Gaysia, an exploration of LGBTQ+ cultures across South East Asia; The Family Law, a memoir of his childhood that he adapted into three seasons of television; Growing Up Queer, a collection of stories from LGBTQ Australians, and Wellmania, the Netflix comedy series he co-created and wrote.
Not only is he insufferably talented, but he's a sheer joy to converse with. We discuss music by his partner Scott Spark, Beyoncé, and Rufus Wainwright, with some dabbling in Björk and Kylie along the way.
