How difficult is it to come out as gay in modern-day NI? Stephen talks to @gerrylynch #BBCNolan

Welsh rugby legend Gareth Thomas is about to star on BBC One Wales, in a documentary entitled GARETH THOMAS: GAME CHANGER. The programme looks at his career and the reaction from friends, family and former players when he came out as the world's first openly gay rugby player. We discuss how difficult it is to come out as gay in Northern Ireland. We'll play the full interview with Gareth Thomas later this week but this morning Stephen spoke to former Alliance party executive director Gerry Lynch about coming out as gay in Northern Ireland
