At More Than Flags & Rainbows, we are going to release free resources to schools to help reduce homophobic bullying. We would like these translated into Welsh, to support Welsh Medium schools, and wondered if anyone knew any organisations or grants that could help with the cost?

I hate to say it, but I’m 43 today. Had a cheeky Nando’s to celebrate my first birthday as a married man and my 21st in a row claiming to be 29.

🌈 Happy Pride Month 🌈 Pride is a time to celebrate, reflect and take action. It began as a protest — and in many ways, it still is. In 2025, against a backdrop of rising anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and harmful political narratives, Pride has never been more needed.

Not every company needs a rainbow logo - but there’s too many people hauling companies over the coals for not having one. Some skip the logo and do the real work. Others rainbow-wash & call it allyship. Don’t confuse branding with inclusion. Look at the culture, not the colours.

Ugly, ugly tears at the live action Lilo and Stitch. I didn’t think it could top the animated one, but it was beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. Especially for a house full of adoption and chosen families, it was so moving.

Hey Llandudno, the gays have arrived for the The National Education Show tomorrow! Looking forward to delivering workshops on cackling homophobic bullying in schools and how to run a successful Pride event

An incredibly emotional day. When I left teaching because LGBTQ+ inclusion wasn’t good enough, I never imagined I’d be at a Pride event talking about our work. More Than Flags and Rainbows’ first Pride. I’ll never forget it. šŸ³ļøā€šŸŒˆ

Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing dads out there. Fatherhood isn’t one-size-fits-all -and that’s worth celebrating.

Brilliant visit today to Ysgol Gymraeg Santes Tudful for an Inclusion Health Check. Sometimes the work is about celebrating what’s already strong. From local civil rights links to inclusive practice, we are building on amazing firm foundations to take things even further.

After a busy month wedding planning & the busiest ever month for More Than Flags & Rainbows’, I finally took a day off… But 11 had different ideas and he promptly twisted his ankle & we spent the day in A&E. Just a sprain, thankfully - & he’s now milking it for all it’s worth.
