I think when I first moved to London,
00:02
I had a couple of teachers who were just like
00:04
very openly out there and happily gay and fabulous.
00:09
And it was the first time I'd ever seen that
00:10
as a young boy.
00:12
So I was a bit like, oh my God, you seem happy.
00:15
And also fabulous.
00:16
I might try that.
00:17
And just like kind of got me to come out my shell
00:19
a little bit more and you know,
00:21
jump out the closet quite frankly.
00:22
So it was lovely.
00:23
You don't realise how them tiny little bits
00:26
of representation can be quite beautiful.
00:27
So shout out to Matt and Damien.
