FROM MR GAY UK TO LORD MAYOR OF MANCHTER: MEET CARL AT-BEHAN

Thrown out of the Royal Air Force 1997 bee of his sexualy, the 44-year-old went on to be crowed Mr Gay UK jt four yars later, before makg makg headl and history back May after beg the first openly gay Lord Mayor of Manchter. Attu’s Andrew Headspeath sat down wh Carl to fd out more, om his life growg up gay north Manchter to the events that led to him beg kicked out the ary, to his experience of Mr Gay UK and hop for the the future as one of the most proment polil figur of England’s send cy…. If had been a se of ‘Manchter’s new Lord Mayor Councillor Carl At-Behan is appoted’ and that was , and we hadn’t mentned the fact that of me beg gay, I thk that uld have been a suatn that uld have end up beg blown up a negative way via certa parts of the media.

They uld have turned round and said, ‘Manchter’s new Lord Mayor is openly gay: shock horror’, and they uld have ma out om my past as Mr Gay UK. It sounds strange but for somewhere where the Lord Mayor is ually someone who is 65-70 pl, a tradnal black and grey troers wh a black jacket, whe shirt, whe tie, to have the youngt Lord Mayor who’s openly gay and is que happy to talk openly and mix wh all muni do make a difference.

It took a ltle while to actually accept that I was gay. At the time was still illegal to be the air force as gay and that was one of the reasons why I was livg a life that was a lie. Then when we were havg the AIDS epimic at the end of the ’80s, early ’90s and we thought all gay people were gog to die, I was petrified.

MEET CARL AT-BEHAN, THE FORMER MR. GAY UK JT SWORN AS MANCHTER’S LORD MAYOR

A lad that I was seeg Manchter at the time didn’t want me to go and he then rmed the air force that I was gay, and then when they asked me I jt cid to tell the tth. I joed the Manchter Fire Service and was the first openly gay firefighter to jo. Even though there were some gay men there, there was no-one ‘out’ who joed up at the time.

In 1999 I also entered Mr Gay UK, [and] me send that. I’m still passnate about what Mr Gay UK is about bee I thk still reprents que a lot of people wh the untry. However, smaller areas we still don’t have that, there’s a still a lot of bigots and homophobic abe that tak place.

I still thk we’ve got a lot of challeng out there as a muny that we still face on a day to day basis, and that’s why I’m so passnate about the whole Mr Gay UK perd of my life. Why did you try out for Mr Gay UK?

FORMER MR GAY UK BE MANCHTER’S FIRST OPENLY GAY LORD MAYOR

Has the Mr Gay UK tle affected the way people see you?

Everythg has been mostly posive, and I always support the role of Mr Gay UK. The ironic thg about beg kicked out of the air force was that 2002 we were havg Europri e to Manchter 2003 and bee of an terview that I’d done, they actually ntacted me to look to how they uld get gays to jo the RAF. I suppose that followed on om Mr Gay UK a way bee I felt that I uld make a difference and I uld challenge people’s perceptns.

Manchter’s got a very tablished gay scene and muny.

FORMER MR GAY UK TO SPEND 30 YEARS JAIL AFTER MURRG BOYIEND THEN OKG AND EATG HIM

Now that ’s got an gay Lord Mayor, what do  mean for the cy self? I do want to target, help and raise more awarens for our trans muny bee I thk even wh the gay, bisexual and lbian muni they still don’t unrstand the real impact or rpons that we should be havg. The way that gay men still are, we need to promote the fact that we’re a muny rather than we’re all dividuals.

Gay UK who was dismissed om the Royal Air Force 1997 bee of his sexual orientatn, was sworn today as Manchter's Lord Mayor, and is the first openly gay person to hold that office.
