    Hi All,
    I'm a newbie in this forum but really interested to get engaged with the whole group :) So back to the thread, I'm just wondering has anyone been watching the documentary on BBC 3 called Queer Britain.

    In this weeks episode, it was talking about the LGBT* becoming homeless due to mainly their parents not accepting them. This has shocked me slightly and made me come back in my shell and made me not want to come out in fear of rejection :confused: I honestly don't know what to do ??

    Also looking at others people's feedback on the show in general?

    Thanks :)

    Riyadh is amazing.

    I haven't watched the show cause obviously BBC Iplayer isnt available here and I havent a clue how to get it.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    He's actually the best presenter for the show tbh.

    Oh I watch it on YouTube on the BBC three channel. The episodes are all uploaded :)

    Thanks for mentioning that the episodes are on youtube. I was really interested in seeing these series of programmes and like a poster above, I thought they were only available on the bbc player, which isnt available here.

    I wanted to watch this but after Riyadh's involvement in McSwiggan's reports of fake homophobia in America I'm not a fan.

    Also, his videos on female genitalia are exploitative.

    Is he presenting all of it or only one episode?

    The whole thing
