Basically not everything you hear or read in the press or education literature is a representation of living 100%. You need to hear this shit too of how I struggled, and some days still do struggle - and my history up until this present day. To reiterate: You only hear or read about the good stuff, but bad things happen as well - especially if Amy V Brown is involved because, like me, you'll have her words ringing through your head.

One person , with just 5 words "Richard Fletcher you DIRTY queer" affected my mental stability later on in life and effected my future friendships going forward.

You may have heard my previous recording back from 2016, but now I am strong enough to show my face to match my voice and republish showing exactly who I am today. And I'm proud to be able to share my lived experience. And the NHS are marvellous and the nurses truly are 'Angels'.
