PAGING DOCTOR BRAD!
From Embarrassing Bodies to The Today Show, Dr Brad McKay is Aussie TV’s dreamiest medic. But growing up, his sexuality brought him into conflict with his strict religious family. He tells Matthew Myers about his “pray the gay away” past, the post-HIV world, ghosts, UFOs and Kylie.
DNA: You grew up in New Zealand with a very religious family. How did that affect your coming out?
Brad McKay: I grew up with two older sisters and I remember when they were teenagers my mum wanted them to go to church. Being rebellious, they just didn’t want to. So mum grabbed them by the clothes and hair, shoved them into the car, drove away and threw them out like a mob drop, saying, “You’re going to church youth group!” With no way of getting home they had to go. As time went on they made friends and got involved in the church. An interesting way of introducing your children to the church.

About DNA Magazine
Welcome to our Next Big Thing issue. Every day we’re bombarded with
news of the “the latest”, “the newest”, “the most amazing next…” So we
asked our contributors and correspondents to look to their speciality fields
and focus on the next big things we’re really going to appreciate.
For example, 3D porn is already here but fully interactive experiences are just around the corner. On stage, we’re looking forward to Bette Midler in Hello Dolly! and Pamela Rabe in The Testament Of Mary. It’s going to be a big year for gay content on film and television. Along with Moonlight, Call Me By Your Name and the Australian feature The Dream Children are going to make it an extraordinary year for gay film.
On the health front, there are extraordinary developments in medical technology that are going to profoundly change lives, and the food we eat is no small part of it. Then, of course, there’s the world of fashion where change is fundamental (and fun).
And let’s not forget the men and the models who are going to be heating up our
pages, our news feeds and blowing up our Instagram accounts! We hope you like what we’ve put together. Enjoy the Next Big Things!
