✰ INSPIRATIONAL STORY ✰

Adam, 25, gay man.

"The way I spoke, walked and behaved just seemed natural to me. I'd always been called names ever since primary school. It made me feel upset and isolated from everyone else.

It wasn't until we were all about 12 that I realised what that difference was. Everyone else started passing notes in class and going on 'dates' in the playground but I was left out again.

Being a teenager is hard for most people. But being ginger, camp and having glasses didn't exactly help matters either!

They say coming out to yourself is the hardest thing but I disagree. When you just know something in your own head I found it easy to just bury the feelings of shame and difference I felt.

It took until I was 16, I went to the cinema with my friend Sophie and we watched a film about a boy who writes an anonymous article in his school magazine about being gay. In the resulting scandal, he outs himself in assembly.

I wish my flair for the dramatic had been as highly developed. In the end I just broke down at the end of the film and my friend guessed. I knew once I'd admitted to one person it wouldn't take long, and once back at school the next time someone asked if I was gay (as happened quite regularly) I would have to say yes. So I did.

I was really pleased I came out at school. I felt it brought the issue 'out' into the open and my headmaster was very supportive. Lots of gay boys and girls who come out or are forced out at school are not as lucky.

I didn't tell my parents until I was 21. I didn't want to upset or disappoint them as they'd always been so good to me. But in the end I didn't have anything to worry about. My then boyfriend was welcome back home at my Dad's 60th birthday which I will always remember as one of the best days of my life."

"Beautiful Day" By: Brett Every

[Verse 1]

What a beautiful day

With the sun through the trees

The blue sky agreed

"What a beautiful way

To start this great life together

In such wonderful weather"

Your father said, while giving his toast

That, "Of all my beliefs, I believe in love most"

[Verse 2]

"What a beautiful day"

My mom said, "If your dad was alive

He'd be beaming with pride

Though he would jokingly say

'Son, tell me, when two men get married

Who carries, and who's carried?'

But you know my son, well that he knows-

That, with all his belief, the answer is both"

[Bridge]

And the bells did ring, and the wedding band

The choir did sing, the people did dance

And all was swell, because all is grand

And I'll love you so well so long as I can

[Verse 3]

What a beautiful day

Both our families

And all our friends agreed

Wished us on our way

And the only one to protest

Was your ex, in jest

And the celebrant gave the government's seal

That, on this beautiful day, we made a beautiful deal

And the Prime Minister said, "By this beautiful law

That whatever beliefs, we believe in love more"

[Outro]

And even your ex said, "What a beautiful day"
