2014 INTERVIEW THEGAYUK FEB/MARCH 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. By Graham Davies 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
