COMING OUT HAS LONG BEEN SYNONYMOUS WITH BEING GAY, BUT AS EVAN DAVIS SAYS IN THIS CANDID VIDEO - THAT’S NO LONGER THE CASE, WITH ‘COMING OUT’ NOW BEING PART OF A WIDER NARRATIVE. In the audio, Evan talks about his “long and tortuous” process of coming out to his parents, who he told he was gay for the first time - on Christmas day. For the first time he speaks about the close links between mental health and coming out - adding how terrified he is every night he goes on TV. Evan spoke ahead of the National Student Pride event, which is happening in London this weekend at the University of Westminster, and gave advice on coming out and dealing with mental health. These are the two key focuses of Student Pride, which unlike other pride events, is focused on a daytime event with panels and discussions - not a parade.
