H from Steps on Pride and Overcoming the Threat of Being Outed | Lorraine

Celebrating Pride Month with the release of his debut book, Pride and The Rainbow Warriors, Ian H Watkins hopes to be a Pride advocate for children - a voice he wishes he had when he was younger. Growing up in rural Wales amidst prohibitive laws against LGBTQA+ teachings in schools, Ian struggled with his sexuality and later was threatened into coming out in the 90s. He'll share why his Rainbow Warriors teaches children about the importance of being different, how the book has become a school resource and how it could be used to start conversations about Pride with kids.
