 Gay people are ordinary people with ordinary lives - but we're always looking for their extraordinary stories. 
Richard Chadwick - Gaytalk |
Richard saw an appeal for helpers in a magazine and has never looked back since. He's been the presenter of BBC GMR's Gaytalk since 2002, and he helps to lead a team of committed volunteers who enjoy being at the heart of what's happening in Greater Manchester's vibrant LGBT community. "When I first stepped foot on Canal Street, I was very taken back by it all. I remember stepping into Cruz 101, and found it unbelieveable that two men were kissing. I was a bit like a child in a sweet-shop - mesmerised! "That was my first experience of seeing other gay people... and it was a turning point in my life. When I got involved in GayTalk, it introduced me to lots of lesbians and gay men, and I began to realise how much a part of ordinary day-to-day life we all are... You don't have to go down to Canal Street to see someone who's gay. "There was probably someone you walked past this morning who's gay... maybe the person who served you in the supermarket, or the bus driver.... The great thing about GayTalk, is that is provides a voice for all these people. Gay people are ordinary people with ordinary lives - but we're always looking for their extraordinary stories." GayTalk can be heard on Thursdays at 8.30pm on 95.1FM, BBC GMR. Email [email protected]. If you want to tell your story 'on air' get in touch with the team on 0161 244 3058.
