Pride has its definitions

In the last episode we talked all things super clubs, exploring the legendary Tunnel Club in Cardiff, and finished with the broadcaster and drummer Owain Wyn Evans, but don't think that's all he had to say.

In this episode, we discuss how Pride Cymru established itself and its ongoing challenges to represent our community and from Rahim El Abashi, a refugee who shares his story of how he came to settle in South Wales.

It's going to be a good one, but first back to Owain.

Originally from the town of Ammanford in West Wales, Owain explains the lasting effects of a lack of representation to a young LGBTQ+ person growing up in rural Wales and so much more! Who remembers Adam and Eve? IYKYK

Yn y bennod ddiwethaf siaradon ni am y super clubs, gan drin a thrafod clwb chwedlonol y Tunnel yng Nghaerdydd, a gorffen gyda'r darlledwr a'r drymiwr Owain Wyn Evans, ond nid dyna'r cyfan a oedd ganddo i'w ddweud.

Yn y bennod hon, rydyn ni’n trafod sut y sefydlodd Pride Cymru ei hun a'i heriau parhaus i gynrychioli ein cymuned, ac yn clywed gan Rahim El Abashi, ffoadur sy'n rhannu ei stori am sut y daeth i ffeindio’i gartref yn Ne Cymru.

Mae'n mynd i fod yn un da, ond yn ôl i Owain yn gyntaf.

Yn wreiddiol o dref Rhydaman yng Ngorllewin Cymru, mae Owain yn esbonio effeithiau parhaol diffyg cynrychiolaeth i berson ifanc LHDTC+ sy'n tyfu i fyny yng nghefn gwlad Cymru a chymaint mwy! Pwy sy'n cofio Adam and Eve? IYKYK
