Description

A very special episode to commemorate 50 years since one of the most important events in LGBTQ+ history: The Stonewall Riots. Martin Boyce was the son of Italian immigrants and grew up in New York, coming out in the 60s at a time it was very dangerous to be gay in the city. He was at The Stonewall Inn on 28 June 1969 and stood, defiant, as the NYPD charged. His story is moving and incredible.  Please share it.Presented by Emma Goswell Produced by Sam Walker We'd love to hear YOUR story.

Real people. Unique Stories.Coming Out Stories will take you to one the most important moments in many people’s lives. It will perch you on sofas in suburban sitting rooms, stand you in front of officials' desks, put you at the centre of a crowd in a noisy classroom, everywhere where these conversations have happened. It doesn’t even matter if you haven’t had a conversation like this yourself, or indeed ever plan to. Everyone can recognise the innate human desire to love and be loved, and that’s what these stories are about.
