Proudly Said is a community, a platform, and a means to get stuff done.

We amplify queer voices, work with organisations, and run campaigns that matter.

Founded and run by John Hyland – podcaster, consultant, and community advocate.

Podcast

Over 60 episodes of honest, unfiltered conversation with members of the LGBTQ+ community. Everyday people with extraordinary stories, given the space to tell them.

Work

John Hyland has over fifteen years of relationships across the LGBTQ+ community. If you want to reach queer audiences authentically, this is where to start.

Campaigns

Campaigns, advocacy, and community action. From drafting open letters that reach political leaders, to organising a vigil for a thousand people. We make the stuff that needs happening, happen.

Blog

Commentary, reflection, and community storytelling. John writes about the things that matter to the people Proudly Said exists for, always being open and honest.
