About Me
Hi, I'm Andrew! I identify as a male and am a proud member of the LGBTQ community. I'm a big football fan and love supporting Sunderland AFC, both at the Stadium of Light and from the comfort of my home. I enjoy watching soaps, exploring new cuisines, and socializing. I'm also passionate about politics as an active member of the Labour Party. In the future, I may be getting a dog, so some help with pet care could be needed.
