The LGBTQ community is known as a consumer of technology. Regardless of our age group, we tend to be ahead of the general population when it comes to gadgetry and tech. But we are also more likely to partake in recycling, reusing and to campaign on issues such as the environment and animal rights. So, what do we do when these values clash? It's a question we may all be left asking after Dispatches this evening (Monday 16th) on Channel Four Television.
