Multi-platinum recording artist, Brit Award winner and Olivier nominee Will Young will be opening up in an illuminating conversation to celebrate paperback publication of his book To Be a Gay Man. Will Young will be in conversation with Rob Rinder, barrister, writer and broadcaster.

In To Be a Gay Man, Will speaks out about gay shame, revealing the impact it had on his own life, how he learned to deal with it, and how he can now truthfully say he is gay and happy.

Join Will, in conversation with Rob Rinder, for a frank and lively discussion of sexuality, society, and self-acceptance. Looking back on a world where growing up being called gay was the ultimate insult and coming out after a lifetime of hiding his sexuality, Will explores the long-lasting impact repressing his true self has had. Join Will to meet a friend, champion and mentor, sharing his own experiences and vulnerabilities, and offering invaluable practical advice on overcoming the difficulties too often faced within the LGBTQ+ community.
