Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer, and thank you to colleagues for supporting this individual Members’ debate, enabling us to have the opportunity to mark LGBT History Month for the first time on the floor of the National Assembly for Wales. LGBT History Month is celebrated in February across the UK and is a now annual event that provides us with an opportunity to promote diversity and equality across Wales and recognise the contribution that LGBT people have made to our communities and our country. Indeed, we’ve come a long way in the past few decades alone when it comes to LGBT rights. If I think back myself, growing up in north-east Wales, going to school in the constituency that I now serve, if you’d told me I would be standing here today opening a debate on LGBT equality, led by openly lesbian and gay Assembly Members for the first time in the Assembly’s history, well, for starters, the Assembly didn’t exist when I was a teenager, but I genuinely never imagined I would have the courage or the confidence to be part of this as one of the first out Assembly Members.
