Overview
- In a Sky News interview during his Wicked: For Good press tour, Bailey used his platform to promote the UK charity Just Like Us.
- He is a patron of the organisation, which works in British schools to support LGBTQ+ young people.
- Bailey described feeling afraid, isolated and constrained as a gay schoolboy, saying such support would have helped him.
- Just Like Us reports LGBTQ+ 11–18-year-olds are twice as likely to experience anxiety, depression and bullying, with only about half feeling safe at school each day.
- He said he cannot resolve the wider issues alone but intends to play a small part by elevating the charity’s work.
