Nadia Whittome is the recipient of the GAY TIMES Honour for Future Fighter. The 27-year-old has continued to define a new era of MP and brought a meaningful LGBTQIA+ representation to the hallowed halls of Westminster.
At just 23, Whittome was elected to represent Nottingham East during the 2019 general election. Since then, she has continued to be a stoic member and ally to the LGBTQIA+ community.
But don’t be mistaken, she confides in her new GAY TIMES cover interview that “it’s not necessary to feel comfortable” to be an MP that fights for change.
Her political agenda consists of challenging social injustices, fighting for refugees to be treated with dignity, an all-inclusive ‘conversion-therapy’ ban and equal parity for trans people.
