Winner of UK’s first all-gay dating show warns morale low for community

Dan Harry, who won the BBC reality show I Kissed a Boy, teams up with LGBTQ+ rights charity Stonewall to battle hate crimes

It was only when strangers started hugging him in the street that Dan Harry fully appreciated what his appearance on the UK's first all-gay dating show had meant.

People would get really emotional, saying: Thank you for what you've done for this community,' and I don't necessarily see it like that. I just went on holiday and kissed some boys," says the 27-year-old who grew up in Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire, and now lives in London.
