152: Michael Cashman | Part 1

The man who ‘Changed The World’ is what The Guardian called our guest this week - Lord Michael Cashman CBE. On the 18th anniversary of the repeal of section 28 in England &amp; Wales, I chat to Michael about his central role in getting it scrapped. He’s starred in Eastenders, founded Stonewall, helped get most of the civil rights LGBTQ+ people have today so it’s quite the odyssey of a chat with a lovely, warm and funny man all ending with a some chat about spaghetti. Of course. Press play now to find out what the Queen had to say about civil partnership, how Tony &amp; Cherie Blair approached civil partnership, and why this Trans Awareness Week trans rights are more in need of defence than ever before. 📍H O M O S A P I E N S P O D C A S T📍NEW EPISODE Every Thursday📍Come play with us on socials <a href="https://www.facebook.com/homosapienspodcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a> &amp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/homosapiens/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Instagram</a> @Homosapiens📍Email us: Hello@homosapienspodcast.com📍Podcast Host: Acast Hosted on Acast.
