Tatchell was spurred on by the reemergence of a video clip of Cliff declaring on Loose Women: ‘I don’t consciousness talking about things but there are things that are mine, that will go with me to my grave…I don’t talk about my family, I certainly don’t chat about my sexuality.’

It plays into homophobia & a lack of candour sets a bad example to young people’.
