LGBT History Month Special Episode - Carl Austin-Behan OBE

  • Summary

  • Carl Austin-Behan made LGBT history. 
    In this special episode for LGBT history month, celebrity events planner Liz Taylor is joined by Carl Austin-Behan. Carl tells Liz about being gay in the military in a time where it could have landed him in jail, and how eventually that would lead him to become the first openly gay Lord Mayor of Greater Manchester.
    Liz and Carl also discuss the challenges he faced being gay in the fire and rescue service, but how in the end it presented an opportunity to teach his colleagues about gay life. 
    Liz Taylor's 30-year career in event planning has built an impressive portfolio of events, including celebrity weddings, charity fundraisers like Children in Need with Gary Barlow and huge gala dinners such as Winter White Gala at Kensington Palace for HRH Duke of Cambridge, as well as the Manchester United Champions League winning party in Moscow and Coronation Street's 40th anniversary celebrations. During lockdown, with the events industry on hold, she turned her attention to launching her own consultancy and realised a lifelong ambition in launching her own podcast.
