Queerphonia podcast with Jack Guinness. Growing up in predominantly Catholic Ireland in the 1970s and 80s, gay marriage was something Norton probably never imagined happening.“I grew up in West Cork and now here I am and my mother’s there,” he said.

Norton’s mom, Rhoda Walker, attended his wedding.“No matter how accepting parents are and how much they love you and how much they don’t care that you’re gay and they support you in all your gay relationships they are being robbed.“As parents they had an expectation that they one day might dance at your wedding.

Obviously, it’s great for us, we get to get married.“But it’s great for all the people who love you, that they get to share in that stuff that for decades they believed could never happen.”Norton makes a valid point.
