Antarctica: The Only Gay in the Village

Asia/Pacific, News & Politics, Worldwide

If ever you needed proof that the LGBTI community is everywhere, we have it here! We take you to Antarctica to discover pride in even the coldest of places.

Australia’s Antarctic base, Mawson Research Station, is under the care of Station Leader, Matthew Williams. Matt is out and proud, and with the help of his station team, showed his true colours as a part of #PolarPride – a world-wide expression of inclusion from those who work in and with arctic and Antarctic regions. Matt joined us from Antarctica to give us an idea of what it is like being the only gay in the village.
