If you are gay, how difficult is to show your love publicly? 5 Live's Nihal Arthanayake asked that very question on his 5 Live show in the wake of two homophobic attacks - and many people got in touch to say they had to think carefully about public displays of affection. A few weeks later, Nihal was joined by YouTuber and author Riyadh Khalaf, author of "Yay! You're Gay! Now What? A gay boy's guide to life" to explore the issue further. They also ask parents of gay children about the societal changes they would like to see.
