Interview on the Swindon PRIDE event, sexuality & gender identity

Lucas Gleed (17) & Dylan Williams (14) • May 30, 2019

#iDareToTalkAboutSexuality

This month we got to interview Kristian who is Chair of the Swindon PRIDE event. The event is back this August so we wanted to find out what PRIDE is all about, and how it provides a community of support for people during their journey of self-discovery.

Kristian shared some of the lessons he learnt along the way on his sexuality journey, as did his partner Tamsin on her gender identity journey, and they both stressed the same point...

"Whatever your journey, you can't hold it in. You are who you are, and you need to speak to people about it, because bottling it up will only damage your mental health."

Have a look at the full interview video here, and come along to the PRIDE event - we will have a stall there where we will be helping people share their stories to support and inspire others in similar situations!
