A singer has released a new song to honour Pride Month after suffering homophobic abuse.She took a two-year hiatus in her music career to work on collaborations and produced songs for other artists."I've had quite a long period of producing and collaborating," Ms Roy explained to BBC Introducing Norfolk & Suffolk.
"I had no real plan of what was to come and then I've found myself with a bunch of tunes that are ready to go so I thought, let's go with it. It comes after Ms Roy said she experienced "a few homophobic experiences that I never thought I'd address in my writing". She shared on social media that she had been shouted and clapped at while kissing her partner in public."I came through with this little beat I was working on and it slowly developed into just offloading all of this stuff," she continued.
"It fell quite nicely with Pride and I thought I'd use it to highlight Pride Month and use it as a way to celebrate it.Ms Roy said she felt it was important to "surround yourself with people who have shared similar experiences"."It's important to go to places where you're around similar people - like queer communities where you feel accepted... and there is a share exchange between everyone that is unspoken.
"You can have confidence and let that carry you to help you through situations that are not so nice."Wild birds 'remember' where and when they find foodCity's cerebral palsy team wins FA Disability Cup
