Plaid Cymru leader Adam Price has described his own suicide attempt while walking home from a night out as a student in Cardiff in the 1990s. Mr Price spoke about the difficult period in his life to members of Cardiff's LGBTQ+ community during an event held in the National Museum Cardiff.
In a moving speech, made during the PinkNews Cardiff summer reception, the father-of-two said: "I came here to Cardiff for university and even though we had a very active LGBT society there was something in me that was holding me back. I remember literally walking home from the centre of town with my eyes closed, hoping that I'd be knocked down by a car.
"It was my suicidal depression that many of us will identify with. Because I couldn't find a way out for myself, I couldn't see a road to happiness. I had no role models, I was basically taught to have a deep feeling of shame."
