It's been ten years since Australian diver Matthew Mitcham came out as gay. Months after doing that, he gold in the diving at the Beijing Olympics - and, since then, has become an Australian sporting hero. Now, he's backing Pride House Gold Coast - an LGBTIQ+ friendly venue for athletes, fans and supporters at the Commonwealth Games. He's been speaking to our reporter Sarah Bailey, alongside Matt Hall - who has helped to bring Pride House to the Gold Coast.
