Equality may be enshrined in legislation now, but how much have things really changed since the 60s, when sex between men was decriminalised? 5 Live’s Laura Whitmore puts the question to comedians Larry Dean, Suzi Ruffell and Scott Bryan, co-host of 5 Live’s Must Watch. Scott's had exclusive access to the National Gay and Lesbian Survey at The Keep in Brighton - which is a treasure trove of stories and experiences of gay people through British history.
