He's the visionary behind some of the UK's most iconic queer spaces, the co-founder of Sink The Pink (the birthplace of Bimini) and the architect of Mighty Hoopla. Glyn Fussell joins Bimini for this episode of The Pieces.

More than a festival organiser, Glynn is a cultural curator who has built a career on creating places where queer people can celebrate, belong and be unapologetically themselves.

Beyond the dancefloors and glitter, Glyn is also executive producer of the theatrical adaptation of It's A Sin, working alongside Russell T Davies and the Pet Shop Boys, and founder of the Pink Noise Foundation - an organisation dedicated to supporting grassroots Pride events across the UK that are under threat from right-wing political pressure.

On this episode of The Pieces, recorded live at Soho House, Bimini and Glyn dive into the importance of Eurovision on Glyn's queer awakening, why pop culture became pure escapism for queer people forced to wait in the wings and how that obsession with spectacle shaped everything he's built.

The conversation touches on the disappearing landscape of grassroots Pride events, why the Pink Noise Foundation exists and they explore his executive producer work on It's a Sin, where theatre becomes a vehicle for queer history and education.

In this urgent solo episode of The Pieces, Bimini confronts a tactic as old as divide-and-conquer itself: The Wedge.

The night after London Pride - when over 35,000 people marched through the streets in celebration alongside prams, children, and grandparents in tutus - three broadcasts on GB News in two weeks equated Pride with paedophilia, smeared the entire LGBTQ+ community, and branded LGBT teachers as groomers of children.

But this episode isn't really about them. It's about gay men - sometimes older, sometimes people you looked up to - who in recent years have started saying "I support gay rights, obviously, but this trans has gone too far. Drop the tea and we'll be fine."

It's about the dangerous myth that throwing trans people under the bus will buy acceptance from the mainstream. Bimini deconstructs this lie with surgical precision, showing that when they smeared Pride, they smeared all of us. There was no asterisk. There was no exemption clause for gay men who cooperate.

Drawing on history's most infamous collaborators, Bimini makes clear: the promise of being "the exception" has never been kept. Divide and conquer only works if there are volunteers inside the walls willing to open the gate. But this summer proved something different. When those three broadcasts aired, over 9,058 people filed formal complaints to Ofcom — the most in the channel's history — refusing to accept The Wedge. From gay men to straight mothers to allies, the community showed up.

Liam Rondi is an activist living in the south of France who has become an unexpected champion of accountability in mainstream media.

With a Substack dedicated to exposing journalistic failures and media bias, Liam has built a following around unflinching critiques of how British television weaponises rhetoric against marginalised communities.

After years of witnessing homophobia and transphobia become normalised on breakfast television, Liam decided to do something radical: he created a complaint generator, mobilised a community, and broke the Ofcom record for complaints against a single broadcast segment.

On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Liam dive into the formative moment that politicised him and how he was inspired by transphobia on TV to attempt to create accountability.

They talk about the pattern of demonisation of LGBTQ+ people in the media, the reality that transphobia opens the gates to homophobia, why collective action matters and how teamwork breaks records.
