A Big Mouthful

Simon Pearson

A Big Mouthful was created as a place to discuss what it's like to be LGBT+ and to understand some of the issues that we live with and what affects our mental health. However, most of the topics discussed are relevant to absolutely everyone. Some of the discussions are serious, emotional, controversial, extremely light hearted and humorous but above all, hopefully you will find them informative and give you something to think about.
