Exhetra presents Backstory

by Jo Davies

Each episode of Backstory features an interview with a fabulous person from the gay community focusing on their gay backstory. We start with the question 'when did you first realised you were gay?' and take it from there. The Backstory interviews are created by Jo Jepson-Davies who runs the website EXHETRA. Extending from Jo sharing her coming out story through a series of blogs on the site, Jo is looking to create a large library of Backstories to share with all communities. Jo believes through understanding this leads to acceptance. She wants to share more gay stories with the world.
