On winning his award, Gordon said:

“I'm truly touched and honoured to receive this award, to be recognised by our community that I've been proud to serve, stand with, and celebrate for so many years means more than I can ever express.

Pride Cymru and before that Cardiff Mardi Gras has always been more than an event - It's a lifeline, a home, a celebration of who we are and a powerful reminder that we are never alone!

To Rob and everyone at Pride Cymru, Thank You! And my FABulous drag friends who presented me with this award, you have made this old queen feel truly seen and valued.

This community has given me friendship, purpose, love and joy. I will carry all of that in my heart every single day. Thank you! From the Bottom of my heart”

Huge congratulations to Gordon!
