Youโ€™re also welcome to be anonymous, or share just some of this information.

How you overcame a challenge as an LGBT+ person

How youโ€™ve found queer culture / community

Welsh identity and queer identity: do you feel a sense of Welsh pride, and/or a sense of LGBT+ pride? How do these come together?

Welsh language and queer identity LGBT+ life in cities versus rural places

Finding LGBT+ community as a disabled person

Queer communities of colour in Wales

A historical/famous Welsh person who inspires you

What is your message to your younger self?

What would you say to someone who wants to be an ally to the LGBT+ community?

How you cope with living in a queerphobic world: how you find hope, and anything you'd like to share about how you're making a difference, small or big

Or something completely different.
