Quotes
"I used to be braver than whoever I was with. I’d be the one who wasn’t embarrassed to hold hands, I was the one who was alright cuddling on the Tube, all that. And I don’t ever remember anything happening at all. But now it seems different. " Rich
"My partner, my Dad and a dog, we’re a team. And we are a family, despite is it Margaret Thatcher or whoever saying you are not a family. Sorry, we are. And we’re a lot nicer than some of your fucking heterosexual families I can assure you." Roger
"There was never a single person I could actually say I knew who was gay. At school or at home or friends or family friends or relatives. I mean I’m the only gay in the family, I know that much. So no, there was nobody - no contact to anything gay in my childhood at all other than at school, which wasn’t gay really, it was just a bit of messing about." Jason
"I think it is definitely much easier because people are that much more open about it. I mean the usual scenario - gay politicians, gay television personalities, everybody pretty much knows somebody in their family that is gay. The same sort of don’t tell your uncle attitudes has long since gone - if only because people have suddenly realised that uncle that they weren’t supposed to tell about is gay himself." David
"I guess it's easier to be gay these days because it's on the TV so much and all that kind of thing but that doesn't mean that it's accepted at all... And just because Graham Norton's on the TV, it doesn't mean people would like a gay gay couple living above them." Tony
"Another group of young men had walked past and they started giving us homophobic abuse in front of the Police... the underlying thinking there was, well the Police won't protect them either because they're the lowest of the low... And that - that was a real eye-opener for me because that's how some people see me, you know, just that - below being alive really." Jon
"Yeah in two years, I can’t believe it. I was homeless, I was living on a mate’s floor, I’d got no money, no cash, nothing. And now look at us. I still sit here in awe and wonder thinking, “how the hell did I get here?” From two years ago like living with a wife and three kids and an unhappy marriage to, to this in such a quick period of time. I’ve got no idea how I’ve got here." Jason
"The ultimate accessory really is a gay friend." Tim
