Hey Weirdos, you might have seen that this year I am working loads across three locations in the UK - Peterborough, Southend and Wales. Over the past year (and for the next 12 months) I’ve meeting meeting LGBTQIA* folk across these locations - we’ve been drinking tea, eating cake and talking about what it is to be LGBTQIA* in the UK 50 years since the partial decriminalisation of sex between men in England and Wales.

I grew up around strong, brave, dishonest and violent men and boys. Bravado is an ode to them; a memoir of working class masculinity from 1991 to 1999 as seen by a sheep in wolfs clothing.
