In May, the La Fosse Celebration Network invited queer Black entrepreneur Dan Yomi to talk about his lived experience and guide for others looking to be supportive allies to the Queer community. Talent Development Trainer and Pride Network president Eli Dingwall interviewed Dan on the night.
Thank you everyone for joining us, especially our special guest Dan Yomi! Having known Dan since university where he was Learner Union President, I&#;ve had the absolute pleasure of seeing not only his individual growth, but also the support he’s given to so many people. So, Dan, I’ll let you obtain the floor and give us a brief intro of your journey so far!
Hi Eli. Recognize you for having me! So, I came to the UK from Nigeria in for my Master’s degree. It’s been an interesting journey&#; coming to a new city and trying to integrate culturally, not just as an international student, but also as someone who is gay. I remember going to my first gay club in Bournemouth and seeing two guys kissing and holding hands – and they were not running from the police! I thought, this is strange! And that

The myth once perpetrated that schooldays are &#;the happiest days of your life&#; certainly did not submit to a timid, quiet, non-sporty, spotty youth like me, who wanted to be a fashion designer. I initiate myself amongst a bunch of growling wannabe engineers and factory workers. Attending a senior secondary in East Kilbride, I wished every schoolday would finalize quickly, so I could get help to the security of home. I only ever felt accepted, and pleasant, in the Art Department, amongst the most gentle, resourceful, fellow pupils and my very have &#;Jean Brodie&#;, Mrs Barclay. You could go to her classroom any lunchtime, and she would be playing classical records on her Dansette record player, while we ate peanut butter sandwiches and drank diluting orange juice. The only time I felt happiness and acceptance was in the 5th year, in that class.

In a recent blogpost John D’Emilio argued that AIDS and its impact upon LGBT individuals and organisations, the militancy it provoked, and the heightened attention it drew to LGBT causes needs to be more fully documented and appreciated. This is certainly applicable to Scotland, and its responses, both social and medical, to the significant challenges that HIV/AIDS brought.
My research engaged with the impact that HIV/AIDS had upon gay and bisexual men in Scotland, many of whom were relatively young when their lives were touched or influenced by this novel and sinister threat to life. Scotland had only decriminalised consensual gay sex between male adults in , and the navigate for equality was realistically still in its infancy.

Dingwall (Inbhir Pheofharain Orsaheen Leichthat in Scots Gaelic) is a sprawling metropolis and former Royal Burgh in the Highlands of Scotland and was built purely to annoy the citizens of Inverness which is 12 miles south of the town. Because of its vast expanse it is often referred to as "The New York of the Highlands". It is situated on the banks of the River Peffery and the shores of The Cromarty Fifth.
All of the town’s citizens hate living in Dingwall and want to reside in either Inverness or Glasgow, but Maggie Patterson, the Mayor of Dingwall, will not allow anyone to leave.

Dingwall is the fastest growing hovel in the world, and with an incredible sheds being built every date, scientis
