DOCUMENTARY NZ: WHY AM I GAY? TVNZ 1, Tuesday, November 8, 8.30pm
Whether Dr Angelo Tedoldi ultimately answers the question in the title of his documentary depends on the kind of answer you’re expecting. But when he asks along the way, “Am I as gay as I think I am?”, the answer is unequivocal. Yes, he’s super gay.
“I know, right?” he tells the Listener, laughing. “I liked that it shows that I am gay, as I thought I was, but also shows the complexity of it.”
Tedoldi is a neuroscientist who met his Kiwi husband, Chris, in London, got married in Australia and settled in Auckland, where he has retrained as a secondary school teacher. They’re happy here and he has been welcomed into Chris’ family.
In the documentary, he frames his quest in terms of scientific inquiry: “I want to find out if there are biological explanations for why I’m attracted to men.” But it’s something he has thought about for much of his life.
