INTERVIEW
PROUD2BE MAT & JON
On a sunny afternoon in January, we caught up with identical twins
Mat and Jon Price to find out why they posted an online video saying
they were Proud2Be gay and set up the Proud2Be project to spread
the positive message that whatever your sexuality and wherever you
live, you should be proud of who you are within your community.
The project has attracted support from such celebrities
as Sir Ian McKellen and Stephen Fry, who posted his
own Proud2Be video.

Thank you for joining us guys. Firstly can I just
say you’re the first identical twins I’ve ever
interviewed.
Jon: Yeah. And the last hopefully. (evil laughter).
So tell us a little interesting fact about
yourselves.
Mat: Oh, well, I’m the oldest brother by a whole 2
minutes. I’ve been backpacking around New Zealand
and Australia working on organic farms and I play the
guitar.
Jon: I play the keyboard and have travelled around
South-East Asia. Oh and we’ve both travelled to San
Francisco where we visited Harvey Milk’s old camera
shop
