With a theme of resurrection, it's perfect that this year's #InternationalTransgenderDayOfVisibility falls on Easter Sunday.

David and I talked about our transgender siblings in our recent Sky News interview and how marriage equality does not offer full equality for all #LGBTQ

3 years ago today we released the first episode of the Pride & Progress podcast!

We’re now in our fourth series, with almost 100 contributors, and we developed our podcast into an award-winning book.

Thank you all for being part of the Pride & Progress community!

David and I will be talking about the 10th anniversary of equal marriage with Julian Druker tonight on Channel 5 News.
