Gay twins launch Proud2Be Project to national press

Proud2Be

Gay twin brothers Jon and Mat Price have officially launched the Proud2Be Project to the national press.

Proud2Be, a not-for-profit organisation set up to encourage and support all LGBT people to be proud of who they are, was set up in June 2011 when the brothers sat in front of their web cam and told the world they are ‘proud to be gay’.

Since then the project has been put forward for a Prince’s Trust Award, a National Diversity Award and has been supported by a number of high profile figures who have told the world they are proud to be LGBT, including Stephen Fry, Human Rights Activist Peter Tatchell, Michael Cashman MEP and Christine Burns MBE.

Jon and Mat said:

“Over the last year we have seen how the Proud2Be message can transform the way LGBT people feel about themselves.

“We felt it was really important to launch the project to the national press in order to keep on reaching those LGBT people who feel like who they are is something to be ashamed of.

“We also wanted to celebrate how far Proud2Be has come and to be surrounded by family, friends and some of our heroes was a dream come true for both of us. We want to thank all who attended the event and all who continue to show us such amazing support”.

Through the project, Mat and Jon not only run the campaign but also facilitate rural social groups and residential weekends, host yearly rural Pride events and are planning on opening LGBT community hubs in rural parts of the country.

The twins host their own LGBT radio show every Monday at 6pm.
