Would I be alive in a country where being gay is illegal? – Tom Daley – Channel 4 News


Tom Daley is an Olympic Gold Medallist, sports personality, campaigner and knitter.

We recently saw him at the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games as a flag bearer, bearing the Progress Pride flag with LGBTQ+ athletes across the commonwealth.

Krishnan talks to Tom about why he is fighting for LGBTQ+ inclusion in sports, his views on trans athlete participation and what it’s been like for him being a gay parent in the UK.
