"I’ve experienced homophobia all my life, competing in countries where it’s illegal to be me and where I don’t feel safe to leave the venue I’m competing in,” Tom, who came out in 2013 and married husband Dustin Lance Black in 2017 will say.

The Olympic gold medallist and double world champion has revealed previously that he feels passionately on the issue.
