Chris Packham: Forever Punk - Glad To Be Gay by Tom Robinson

In this clip from the documentary Chris Packham: Forever Punk, the famous wildlife presenter and environmental activist meets the author of one of the greatest gay songs of all time, Glad To Be Gay. Tom Robinson came up with the idea of writing this song after he saw the Sex Pistols perform live at a concert which completely changed the direction in which his musical career was going. He decided to sing about real issues, and he embraced gay liberation at a time when homophobia was rife in the UK. A wonderful clip from the documentary Chris Packham: Forever Punk which premiered in January 2022 on BBC Four.
