Hello everybody! My name is Miles, Iām delighted to introduce myself as your new Carmarthenshire LGBTQ+ coordinator. Yes, Iām another English relocation boy, but Iām getting immersed in the Welsh Dragon!
Me and the hubby moved to Wales just over 6 months ago and we are totally loving it. Located a few miles west of Newcastle Emlyn on the Carmarthen/Ceredigion border. Absolutely love the beautiful countryside and our doggo has two tails now I think! Heās so excited to be in the countryside.
Iām really keen to help the community grow and develop, so please do get involved and contribute to the fun. We plan to step up activities with more Twitter, Facebook and events ā so stay tuned. Also, Iām here to help with the challenges some of us face. Growing up in suburban SE London, well N Kent! Iāve certainly seen some ā#interestingā things in my time!
I came out at 18 in the mid ā80s which was a very important time for Gay culture. Iām sure most of you have seen āItās a Sinā on C4 ā if not, you really must, yes, itās tear jerking at some points but also really up lifting at other times ā strongly recommended!
What I particularly like is that it shows the challenges my generation faced and we continue to do ā albeit most things have massively improved. I absolutely understand about good health and looking after yourself!
Noy only but also, as a former āclub boyā Iām always up for new experiences and clubbing/social times. As we move forward Iāll share some stories with you all ā Iāve had some great times on the scene.
Like some of you no doubt Iāve also experienced discrimination and one nasty incident back in the 90ās. I guess what Iām trying to say is that I love to share and work with people, so Iām happy to be in a position where I can ācare and shareā some of the things that have happened to me over my 30 odd years as an out gay man.
Iām looking forward to meeting you all!
