S1E8: Tony Whitehead

Janet suggested I speak to Tony. He's been busy all his life, whether that was with traveling around the world or working on important queer issues. He worked on Switchboard, he was the first chairperson on the Terrence Higgins Trust and he was fired from his first job for taking part in a documentary about gay life in Brighton. This sparked protest across the country. Tony's lived with HIV for many years and has been left almost blind due to complications to do with the virus. Tony's life is fascinating and he's achieved so much, so it was a huge pleasure to talk to him.
