It is always worth remembering that coming out is a personal matter. Only you decide when you are ready to come out and if you want to.

Never be pressured into coming out. Here we talk about our coming out experiences and how it was for us.

Today is #NationalComingOutDay an annual LGBTQ+ awareness day to support those who are coming out.

Coming out isn’t always easy. We never know how loved ones will react. Some are supported, some aren’t.

There is always support out there. You are not alone.

Remember when gadgets were transparent? From the iconic Game Boy Advance to other see-through devices, we dive into why this tech trend was so cool & why it disappeared. Join us on the podcast as we get nostalgic about retro gaming and transparent designs.

Here’s a sneak peek of our latest episode!

If the England flags were torn down, there would be uproar, if it’s an LGBTQ+ Pride Progress flag, people seem to cheer it on.

This is appalling behaviour. It’s a shame that passers by (many of them there at the time) didn’t step in and stop him.

Solidarity with the salon! Hope he’s caught soon!

LGBTQ+ Pride and trans flags torn down from queer salon 'two times in three week

'These incidents have made me feel quite vulnerable.'

You ain't gonna tell me how to live my life, or define who I am. I'm a woman and lived 28yrs as my true self, longer than the "biology" you want to define me as !!
I'm trans and proud 🏳️‍⚧️, so FOOK OFF!!!
