Shame and sexuality, with Will Young

Support Millennial Love with a donation today: https://supporter.acast.com/millenniallove


This week, Olivia speaks to Will Young. The two discuss the shame we attach to sexuality and how Will was encouraged to keep his own sexuality a secret when he entered into the public eye as a Pop Idol contestant in 2001.


They also discuss the positives and negatives of labelling one’s sexuality, and what the music industry can do to become more inclusive of those in the LGBT+ community and adapt contemporary attitudes towards gender.


Finally, they discuss his new album, Crying on the Bathroom Floor, which is out now.
