Matt Cain's Sunday Roast: Dan Gillespie Sells, Mishti Ali, Ruth Coker Burks and Carl Austin-Behan OBE

Joining Matt Cain for his Sunday Roast this week are The Feeling’s frontman Dan Gillespie Sells, and journalist Mishti Ali, to talk about whether if someone rejects us when we come out to them, we should give them another chance. Also joining the panel are LGBTQ+ activist and ‘Cemetery Angel’ Ruth Coker Burks to chat about allyship, and Carl Austin-Behan OBE (the LGBT Advisor to the Mayor of Greater Manchester), talking about how Pride might be altered in the future…
