It spans seminal moments and key figures, events and breakthroughs of the movement with reproduction of rare images and documents

Todd has also drawn together the individual stories and moving personal testimonies from key figures such as David Furnish, Maureen Duffy, Paris Lees, Bisi Alimi, Will Young and Reverend Troy Perry.

Matt is being interviewed by author and screenwriter Simon James Green, who is known for his charming and hilarious writing for teens, which includes fiction such as "Noah can't even" and his latest "Alex in wonderland".
