HAPPY
By Roy Talbott
Guyanan law still forbids homosexuality. As a gay man who is confident about his sexuality, Roy feels he has a responsibility to campaign for change.

Your thoughts about this video

Ross
This man is an inspiration to us all. It is very moving to see someone stand up for what they believe in and speak out. We should all send our support to Roy. People just don't realise these problems exist in Africa, almost like gay people cannot exist in Africa because you don't hear about them. There are few people that can have the strength that Roy has. If people in the past hadn't spoken against the norm like Roy is doing in his own country, where would gay people be in the UK, where would women be in the UK?
