Richard Martin joins Rich Clarke to share the story of a love that shaped his life.
At university, Richard fell deeply in love with another man. It was a relationship full of hope, but lived in secrecy at a time when being gay was illegal. When his partner returned to America, Richard stayed behind and tried to move on. Years later, they saw each other again, both married to women, and the meeting was painfully strange.
Richard went on to to live a life of marriage, children, and silence. But in his 60s, he finally came out.
This is a story of first love, quiet heartbreak, and finally becoming who you really are.

Beschreibung

Rich Clarke spent years feeling ashamed of his sexuality. Now he meets others who, for many different reasons, kept theirs hidden - and asks why.
From Olympic icon Dame Kelly Holmes to a Zimbabwean refugee and a former Conservative MP, these are unflinching stories of secrecy, shame, and survival.
Forget the rainbow-washed headlines... coming out isn't always safe, or even possible. Across 12 gripping episodes, Rich explores the emotional cost of hiding who you are, and what it takes to finally live your truth.
Raw, heartfelt, and long overdue. These voices are done hiding.
