I am lucky today to be married to an amazing husband and have four children – but like many gay men of my generation, I spent many years in the closet.
Back then I was a policeman at a time when it was still a criminal offense for gay and bi men to be ‘intimate’ with another man in the UK.
Now, as one of the founding partners of Equality Wealth – a specialist firm providing financial advice to LGBT+ people – I see the legacy of those years in a different light.
I often meet others like me who have personal experience of being closeted – either now or in the past. And those complex issues can create real problems that can cost them, and their partners, dear.
