An author who inspired an LGBTQ+ writing competition in the Channel Islands says he hopes it will encourage others to be true to themselves.
William Dameron will be among those judging entries to the competition, which has been launched by the equality group Liberate as part of LGBT History Month.
His book
The Lie: A Memoir of Two Marriages, Catfishing and Coming Out told the story of how he was finally able to embrace his sexuality and come out as gay, having led a heteronormative life for many years.
He hopes that the competition might inspire others to embrace who they are.
