Being gay in 2026. What has changed?

Being gay in 2026 feels very different to how it used to… but not always in the ways you’d expect. In this video, I sit in the shed and talk honestly about what life is like for me now as a gay man — how things have changed, what’s easier, what’s still awkward, and how acceptance from family, friends, and workmates has shifted over the years. I also read out comments from my previous coming‑out video. Some of them are beautiful and supportive… and some are honestly shocking. It’s a reminder that even in 2026, people are still being treated badly just for being who they are. Later on, I talk about why Pride still matters — not just the party, but the awareness, the visibility, and the reason it exists in the first place. And yes… I somehow manage to compare sexuality to crisp flavours, because at the end of the day everyone loves crisps, no matter what flavour they are. If only people were that chilled about everything else. If you enjoy these honest chats, stick around, leave a comment, and hit subscribe.
