‘I got a lot of support from my parents’

CONOR PENDERGRAST was raised by two mothers, but somewhat bizarrely only came to the attention of playground bullies because of his English accent.

Born in London but raised in Ireland since he was nine years of age, Conor is now 24 and believes his upbringing was not compromised in any way by the fact he was raised by his mother Ann, and his mother, Bernadette.

“Family life is pretty normal when you take away the fact that I have an extra mother,” he says.
