Tomorrow is our annual YES DAY — where our 11-year-old gets to plan everything to celebrate 9 years since we became a family.

From choosing the food (yes to waffles for breakfast) to picking every activity (yes to Lego at 8am), he’s in charge and we’re just here to say “YES” 🎉

Found out today that women’s surf shorts aren’t the same as men’s!

I had to pray that there wasn’t an incident 😂

If being gay is a choice, why would I choose the one where I’d get bullied as a kid?

11 made chocolate chip cookies today 🍪

I’ve missed sharing his cooking adventures since leaving Twitter, so time to start sharing his adventures here.

Baking is our favourite hobby together so lots of more coming over the summer!

Let’s clear it up once and for all the A in LGBTQIA+ does not stand for ally.

The A is for asexual, aromantic & agender. These identities deserve visibility in our community. Allies are important, powerful & needed, but allyship is about supporting others rather than being centred in the acronym.

Why do Veterans only get one day when the gays get a month?

Next time someone says “That’s so gay” and doesn’t see the harm in it, challenge them why they don’t say “That’s so straight” instead…

and watch them squirm.

Can’t be openly gay in Egypt, but can you spot the subtle sign?

Thank you to everyone at Bristol Pride.

It was brilliant to meet so many of you & moving to hear what teachers & parents need to make schools inclusive. We’re on it.

Huge thanks to our amazing volunteers who gave up their day to help us speak to hundreds of people.

Your support means the world.
