Along the way, he reveals the extraordinary story of the fight for equal marriage, meeting the people who helped make the day possible including Sandi Toksvig, Peter Tatchell and Lynn Sutcliffe and Sarah Hews along with the political figures who were instrumental in the passing of the bill, Dame Angela Eagle, Lynne Featherstone and David Cameron. Plus, a reflection on his own experiences growing up gay as Tom considers how far LGBTQ+ rights have come
