This is an interview myself and Siobhan had with Ryan Tubridy on The Late Late Show back in April 2009 about being young and Gay in Ireland and our individual experiences of coming out.
The interview happened prior to the broadcast of the documentary "Growing up Gay" which can be seen on my channel also. I hope you enjoy!
Hey Riyadh. Hope you read this. I relate to your story so much! Am 37 now but only came out to parents and everyone at 30. I fought against my sexuality for year more fighting against what people would think of me more than anything. I always knew I was gay. As I have older parents there finding it difficult to accept. Your Dad and Man are amasing.They obviously love you without question, so count yourself lucky!! Dearly hope you find the man of your dreams!! xx

Riyath you are so brave and cool :) I only came out about 6 months ago to my mum and it was such a freeing experience. I kept secret for over 40 years ( weird I know ) but looking back I had a crush on a guy in primary school. Well done !
