Jane Garvey talks to American singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge.

American singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge, how dementia is being portrayed, the cost of living and Jayne Ozanne on Christian faith and sexuality. Presented by Jane Garvey.

Award-winning American singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge talks about her role as a campaigner in gay rights and climate change and performs a song from her latest album. Writers Sally Magnusson and Helen FitzGerald discuss their books and the portrayal of dementia. We look at the cost of living following a recent Woman's Hour poll indicating that it was the second most concerning issue for women ahead of the general election. Jayne Ozanne used to believe that it was impossible to be both gay and a Christian. She explains to Jane why she no longer believes that her Christian faith is incompatible with her sexuality.
