“The issue for CHOGM is a serious matter, particularly decriminalising homosexuality and ending transphobia, and that means that this project can and should seek ways to address many of the issues and our stories. I caught the end of the conversation before the show started, we must look at several critical ideas that can help increase awareness of CHOGM and also attention of the media, especially those in the commonwealth countries with hostile legislations punishing LGBTIQ people, behaviours and attitude.” Reverend Jide Macaulay, Founder & Programme Manager House Of Rainbow
