Olly Alexander says people such as Piers Morgan do not realise the effect they are having when they speak disparagingly about the LGBTQ community.

The Years & Years frontman made a documentary for the BBC called Growing Up Gay, which sees him explore why the queer community is more vulnerable to mental health issues.
Morgan sparked a backlash in May this year after asking a trans couple if he could “identify as a black woman”.
