My Pride Playlist - Carl Austin Behan OBE

Steve Denyer talks to former politician and social activist Carl Austin Behan OBE as he picks the tracks that mean the most to his LGBTQ+ journey. 

 

Carl was discharged from the RAF in 1997 at a time when it was illegal to be openly gay in the military. He has since gone on to forge a career in politics and became Manchester’s first openly gay Lord Mayor in 2016. He now is the LGBT advisor to Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester. Hear Carl's incredible story tonight from 6pm!
