This activity takes place online
We will be showing episodes of Prejudice and Pride: The People's History of LGBTQ Britain using BoxOfBroadcasts via MS Teams.
In episode two, these crowdsourced artefacts include a copy of the controversial schoolbook Jenny Lives with Eric and Martin, naval discharge papers, even a pair of Ugg boots. We meet the nun-impersonating freedom fighters the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, the writer behind TV’s steamiest lesbian kiss and a Muslim man who set up an LGBT support group for Southeast Asians. Ranging over the past 30 years, this was an era when public acceptance of homosexuality overtook the government’s - a time when many celebrities came out and stood up for LGBTQ rights
Following the screening we there will be time for a roundtable discussion.
