Criminalised for Supporting Marriage: The Matthew Grech Story

What happens when sharing your testimony becomes a crime?

In this episode of The Love Questions Podcast, PJ sits down with Matthew Grech — a Maltese singer, former X Factor contestant, and Christian who made international headlines after he was criminally charged simply for sharing his story of leaving same-sex relationships and standing for marriage between one man and one woman.

Matthew’s case became a landmark moment in Europe’s free speech battle. He wasn’t accused of harming anyone. He wasn’t promoting therapy. His “crime” was talking about his faith, his journey, and his beliefs.

In this conversation, Matthew opens up about: Growing up in Malta’s aggressive LGBT culture His season of same-sex relationships His spiritual encounter with Jesus

Why he spoke publicly about sexuality and marriage

The backlash, the police interrogation, and the court case

His music, worship, and calling

Why he still believes marriage is worth standing for

How he finds joy, peace, and courage under pressure

Whether you agree with Matthew or not, his story raises important questions about freedom, identity, faith, and whether we’re still allowed to disagree publicly in a modern Western democracy.

This is an honest, vulnerable, and thoughtful conversation — not a political debate.
