Stephen Birkett

Web of Queer
Co-Pesenter
I am a 66 year-old retired Biology teacher living in Strabane, Northern Ireland. I got involved with gay rights in Northern Ireland in 1976, at a time when homosexual activity was punishable by life imprisonment in the province.
I have written a series of five novels covering fifty years of gay life in NI. The only one so far published is 'Ulster Alien' but an agent is currently looking at publishing more.
I have loved Dr Who ever since it was first broadcast in 1963. That's how I got involved with the 'Web of Queer' podcast.
I have other interests too. I was born in Blackpool, England and I came to love trams (streetcars). I collect tram models and organise my trips to visit working tramways and tram museums. By the time I get to Gallifrey I should have visited the Orange Empire Railway Museum and San Francisco and New Orleans are on my itinerary.
I also love bird-watching so I am visiting the Everglades on this trip.
