Tom Daley talks about his visit to Pride House Birmingham and his documentary about LGBTQ+ rights in the Commonwealth

We're back with another special episode of The Pride House Podcast, presented by Jon Holmes - this time our guests include Tom Daley who visited Pride House Birmingham in the Gay Village on Thursday with friends ahead of his appearance as a batonbearer in the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony that night.

Find out what Tom had to say about our venue - he also reveals new information about his forthcoming documentary film about LGBTQ+ rights in the Commonwealth, which airs on Tuesday 9 August.

With Tom was previous Pride House Podcast guest Glenroy Murray from the Jamaican rights organisation J-FLAG. Glenroy was also part of the group of LGBTQ+ rights activists accompanying Tom at the Alexander Stadium. We catch up with him as well.

And we also grabbed a chat with Sydney Morning Herald writer Andrew Webster, who happened to pop by at a very opportune moment to meet Tom! We spoke to Andrew about the big LGBTQ+ in sports story in Australia at the moment - the Manly Sea Eagles pride jersey - and his thoughts on the need for Pride Houses at major sporting events.

And remember, if you're in or near Birmingham - whether for the Commonwealth Games or not - be sure to pop into Pride House at 143 Bromsgrove St, above The Loft Bar & Kitchen! Open every day from 10am til late until Monday 8 August.
