Years & Years’ Olly Alexander praises LGBT “heroes” in the “fight for equality”

Years & Years were robbed of BRIT Awards earlier this week (booooo!), but that hasn’t stopped frontman Olly Alexander from sharing the speech he would have given.In his would-be speech, Alexander celebrates LGBT History Month, which has taken place this February.“Many of us - myself included - we owe a huge amount to the people that have gone before us, we owe many of our freedoms to the people who fought for our rights, who struggled through so much in the ongoing fight for equality,” he says. “Those people, along with my friends and family in the wider community today, they are my heroes, they inspire me every day, they make me proud to be part of a community that celebrates diversity and fights for equality for all. They make me proud to be gay.”He posted the speech with a picture of a rainbow necklace, which he’ll be donating to the Stonewall charity.
