Former Video Hits presenter and generally fairly great individual Faustina ‘Fuzzy’ Agolley has come out as gay in an open, honest and very moving post on her blog, coinciding with her 31st birthday.

Echoing the experience of many people, Agolley says that she has had the sense that she was gay since childhood, but only recently came to the full realisation of who she is, with the support of family and friends.
“In life, philosophy and literature imparts one of the greatest lessons we continuously come back to, and that is to know thyself,” Agolley said, reflecting on her experiences.
“For those reading this who are LGBT and haven’t come out – even when society may not deem you equal because of your sexuality – know that you are. And just like in my situation, know that there are people in the world that have your back.”
She also spoke of the love she has received from those close to her, saying that the “celebratory noise” they’ve created has “drowned out the negativity that sadly weaves through many homes, communities, governments and countries throughout the world.”
“As black as my skin, as Chinese as my blood, and as Australian and British are my nationalities, I’m also a proud Gay Woman,” she concluded. “Most importantly though, I’m a happy human being.”
We couldn’t be happier for Fuzzy, and also wish her a belated happy birthday!
