About this listen

Colin is a Scottish, gay veteran who served in the British Army when it was illegal to serve if homosexual. In this compelling series Colin describes a childhood of poverty and abuse, some of the challenges and adventures he experienced during his military service, his return to civilian life and eventually, life after coming out. He tells his story with great candour and often, great humour. You will laugh and you will cry as his adventures unfold.

Please aware Colin did experience physical and sexual abuse as a child and violence and abuse in the Army, and had thoughts of suicide. He does talk about these issues but not in graphic detail. Nevertheless, if you are experiencing or have experienced these issues yourself, please think carefully as to whether or not you should listen to this episode. Please do not suffer alone. Please talk to someone. There are many people and organisations who can help you. Details of such organisations can be found on the Stand Easy website standeasyproductions.org
