It comes after Andrew said being an openly gay man in the modern age is a ‘wonderful gift’ that has helped him establish firm friendships within the queer community.
He told Attitude: ‘I think it’s such a wonderful thing to me. It’s an extraordinary gift to my life and just to be able to see the real beauty in being gay is completely wonderful.
‘The older I get, just the more I feel so lucky to have been born gay and that pervades my life in the sense of all my friendships.’
He added: ‘I have so many amazing queer friends in my life now that I just adore.’
‘I feel such a huge sense of camaraderie with other queer people now, and without sounding too hippy about it.
‘I feel like I just want to spread that love and positivity in our community because we’ve come such a long way and it’s important that we are kind and look out for each other, and celebrate how uniquely different and how f**king wonderful that can be.’
