In this episode of Law According To A King, our first panel episode to celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month 2022, we talk to lawyer Owen Knight, actorJennifer Tyler, educational consultant Destiny Clarke, community activist Shingai Mabhumbo, and photographer and speaker Sophie Cook. 

We discuss everything from Harvey Milk's iconic speech 'We Cannot Live On Hope Alone' and the importance of hope to the queer community, to intersectionality, Pride, and how to build on the work of those who came before us. 

To thank our panellists, Law According To A King made a donation to a charity nominated by each of our panellists. Owen nominated the Albert Kennedy Trust (akt.org.uk); Jen nominated Mermaids (mermaidsuk.org.uk); Destiny nominated the Trevor Project (thetrevorproject.org); Shingai nominated PAFRAS (pafras.org.uk); and Sophie nominated People's Pride Southampton (peoplesprideuk.com). We are proud to support these fantastic organisations, and would like to thank our guests for their nominations. 

For Jen's book recommendation: 'Life Isn't Binary: On Being Both, Beyond, and In-Between' by Alex Iantaffi and Meg-John Baker.
