By Jonathan Bristow The New York Time’s best selling author and gay dad of three on Pride, coming out, and the role music has played in his remarkable journey. Matthew Paul Turner is living every day as his whole self.
A gift that even just a few short years ago he simply could not have fathomed. Each day, when his feet touch the ground, he finds himself overwhelmed with immense gratitude. Because the journey to arrive here has been nothing short of extraordinary. And truly inspiring. We were recently gifted with the opportunity to sit down with the celebrated New York Time’s best-selling author and gay dad of three to unpack his bru-tiful journey into liberation and inner-alignment - from his childhood days spent in the grips of fundamentalist religion, to becoming the celebrated writer and activist he is today - And how music has been salvation throughout.
