An intercepted letter

A Friend from a long line of Quakers made an appearance on BBC Radio 4’s Saturday Live programme on 11 July.

Speaking with Viv Groskop forty-three minutes into the show, Antony Barlow was responding to a call for stories ‘about the things we hide from our parents’ and spoke about a letter that was intercepted by his father.

He tells the emotional and extraordinary journey that followed the revelation that he had a boyfriend, at a time when homosexuality was illegal. Visit https://bit.ly/ABbbc4 to hear the story in his own words.
