STEPHEN FRY: OUT THERE
Traveling around the globe, Stephen Fry is on a mission to find out what it means to be gay in different corners of the world. In doing so, he considers how much has changed for him over the years and, sadly, how in some places change has been far more slow. While the UK and America have become more accepting, in certain countries being openly gay can mean imprisonment or even death.

STACEY DOOLEY: HATE AND PRIDE IN ORLANDO
Stacey Dooley travels to Orlando in the aftermath of the 2016 Pulse Bar homophobic attack where 49 people were killed. Attending vigils, marches and funerals she tries to understand how America is responding to this atrocity and if this could be the one to finally make a difference. Was the shooter himself gay and did a conflict between religion and sexuality have a bearing on the crime?
