What Would You Do If You Found Out Your Husband Was Gay?
It’s entertaining. As he came out of the closet, I felt like I was being forced in. No-one understood. No-one really knew what to say.

Finding Joy After Finding Out Your Husband is Gay
The Loveys are an Australian “grown-up girl band” of quirky, bejewelled, intelligent, whimsical, bold women who can laugh at themselves and the travesties of life (even finding out in your late 60s that your husband is gay!), while also tackling subjects like divorce, death and dementia with soulful sincerity. These are women who look age in the face and say: I dare you to hold an ounce of life from me! I hold a lot of living to do!
No topic is off the cards with The Loveys. Do you think “spinster” is an old-fashioned term describing the kind of woman you should feel sorry for? Think again! Do you think you’re destined to a life of loneliness? Think again! Do you think septuagenarian sex is something you’ve never heard of or don’t desire to think about? Believe again! (And if you’re not convinced, keep reading!)
“Like a bejewelled version of the Kransky Sisters – kitsch, intellectual and amusing as hell!” (Hobart Capital Festival of Voices)
