June usually marks the celebration of Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, and Queer+ (LGBTQ+) Pride in London and in many places around the world. Whilst the Pride in London parade was cancelled this year, Middlesex Cricket ran a series of interviews and content features to champion the equality and inclusion of LGBTQ+ people – not only in the sport, but in all walks of life. One of those interviews was with me.
As a Middlesex Cricket board director, I am delighted that the Club passionately believes that there is no place for prejudice or discrimination in cricket or in wider society and hope that its campaign goes some way to helping people understand the importance of acceptance, tolerance, respect and equality for LGBTQ+ people.
