is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. Yet, we often ask ourselves, "How can we be
wrong?" Debut author Max Austin, shares his insights about his life
in the '90s amongst the HIV/AIDS crisis and the shame, vile
bullying he experienced as a nurse, which led him to constantly ask
the question that is the title of his book, "How can we be wrong?
In this episode:

Learn the horrible bullying the HIV/AIDs crisis brought on
our gay brothers and caretakers

Uncover how to have the resilience regardless of the battle
as a gay man

The most important things to do to keep our dignity as gay
men in a world of hate


About Max Max Austin has many passions: his husband, his two
children, his writing and his work as a nurse. Oh, and not to
forget the family dog of course! Through his writing and lived
experiences, Max wants to give a voice to silenced and marginalised
LBGTQIA+ groups. He is honoured and humbled that his biofictional
memoir ‘How Can We Be Wrong?’  has found a home with Spectrum
Books; a dedicated LBGTQIA+ publisher.  Max has been a keynote
speaker at LBGTQIA+ inclusion conferences. For Max, kind
inclusiveness in health care and indeed our broader society is as
vital as breathing. When not working as a nurse or writing, he
loves nothing more than spending time with his children and
husband. Most weekends, they can be found covered in mud whilst
being led through the park by their rather boisterous but friendly
black Labrador! Connect With Max Website Instagram Facebook Hey
