The Olympic diver was made an OBE in the Queen’s New Year Honours List, and he told BBC Breakfast that he now feels a responsibility to make the Commonwealth “a more inclusive” place. “I’m extremely proud to be honoured with an OBE,” Tom Daley said, adding that he felt “a responsibility to make the whole Commonwealth a better place for LGBT+ people, for women, for people of colour, to make it a more inclusive and accepting environment”. He continued: “With accepting this OBE it’s now my responsibility to help create change and help create this environment where everybody can be anything that they want, no matter where they came from.” Daley said he wants to “lift up all the people who feel like they’re outsiders” and who feel like they don’t fit in across the Commonwealth. He pledged to raise their voices and work to improve the lives of queer people everywhere, adding: “If you can’t see it, you can’t be it.”
