Humor, Care & Gay Aging: Daphne Wright

What does it mean to grow older as a gay man — especially when illness and care needs enter the picture?

In this episode of Ghosted, Gagged & Gay!, I talk with Daphne Wright — nurse, writer, and hopeful traveler — about her new novel that was born during the long days of the pandemic.

We explore the story of Brice, an older gay man navigating life after losing his husband, facing an ALS diagnosis, and wondering if he’ll have to “go back into the closet” just to receive care. While the subject sounds heavy, Daphne weaves in warmth and humor, painting a story of resilience, humanity, and queer experience that refuses to be a total downer.
