Do you ever look back on your teenage years and think ‘Damn, I wish things were easier then!’? We second that!

In this episode of ‘Lived It’ Gen and Alexei chat to a former Australian rules football player who’s also an LGBTIQ+ advocate - Jason Ball, about what life was like once he came out in the ‘masculine’ game of Aussie football.

Plus, we also take a look at the new show Heartstopper. Heartstopper is about a gay schoolboy who falls in love with a classmate, who also happens to be a rugby player… Oh, what we would give to be young again!
