Richard Wood, our Consul General in Cape Town is interviewed for Pink News. Richard talks about what it is like to work at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and be posted overseas. He also discusses the challenges for gay rights in South Africa.

“The Foreign Office is such a good organisation in terms of diversity and it scored highly on Stonewall’s list of gay-friendly employers. That’s very encouraging and it’s a reassuring work environment.”

“Increasingly, we’re seeing more LGBT tourism as Cape Town is now considered a popular gay holiday destination.”
