LGMC member story on Parkinson's - Ian Temple

As part of our 'Proud' season, many brave members of the London Gay Men's Chorus chose to share their personal 'coming out' stories around the themes of our concert. In addition to the shared experience of coming out as gay men, we explored other social taboos that require bravery and support - namely HIV, various aspects of religion and family, and Parkinson's - our partners supporing us this season.
