This week, Oz is joined by Cerys Bradley from The Coming Out Tapes to talk about the history of bad science involving the LGBTQ+ community. We talk about the obsession with the "gay gene", the treatment of Caster Semenya, and how Britain's colonial history is linked to protests in Birmingham today.
Plus we head to UK Black Pride - Europe's largest celebration for people of colour in the LGBTQ+ community. Why do people come each year? Why do some people prefer to other Pride events? And how does stereotyping ethnic minority communities affect how people embrace their identity?
