If a gold Olympic medal and an OBE haven’t sealed the deal, fans of the sportsman are declaring Tom Daley a “national treasure” after the premiere of his LGBTQ+ documentary Illegal to Be Me. In the film, broadcast on BBC One on Tuesday 9 August, Daley spotlights LGBTQ+ rights across the Commonwealth and visits countries where homosexuality is illegal to speak to the top sportspeople facing persecution and activists about the work that needs to be done. It has been well received by critics and fans alike, many praising Daley for using his platform to address topics like British colonialism and under-supported queer communities. “Just putting it out there now before the hate starts. Hands off Tom Daley #nationaltreasure" wrote one viewer. Check out the website for more 💻 #TomDaley #IllegaltoBeMe #LGBTQ
