James Davidson will discuss his new book
From Sappho to Alexander the Great, Ancient Greek Civilization is full of famous same-sex lovers. For all those who came after them, this inescapable feature has caused amusement, puzzlement and concern. Victorians preferred to focus on the intellectual side of Ancient Greek homosexuality, coyly ignoring the sexual aspect. Later scholars sought to redress the balance by stressing the physical nature of "Greek Love".
James Davidson asks us to forget everything we thought we knew about the intimate culture of Ancient Greece and start again from scratch. The result is an engrossingly rich and diverse picture of Greek love which takes in bizarre Spartan sex-acts, recently discovered paintings and fragments of broken text, and throws new light on Greek civilization as a whole.

An exhbition looking at life for the crews on passenger and merchant ships from the 1950s to the 80s, when being at sea was one of the few places gay men could be themselves.

The exhibition shows the great diversity of gay men at sea. Some were out, camp and casual - while others remained in the closet and wary. Gay men were welcomed in catering but engineers, pursers and officers had to be more cautious as they could face hostility or even lose their jobs. Includes examples of Polari.

Norwich and Norfolk Race Equality Council, in partnership with Norfolk Community Cohesion Network, is delighted to present an exciting photographic exhibition charting the history of the LGBT community.
Photographer Pam Isherwood has been taking pictures of marches, demonstrations and Pride events from the very beginning to present day.
The exhibition offers the viewer a journey through the often challenging experiences of our LGBT communities.
The exhibition tour starts its journey at Norwich Millennium Library on Saturday 14th February at 4.30 p.m. It will be launched by Linda Bellos OBE of Diversity Solutions.
There will also be a talk by Hilary Koe, who will give an overview of legal rights achieved, including civil partnerships and protection against homophobic harassment.
This is the second year that LGBT History Month has been celebrated in Norfolk. Information about other events throughout the month is available from the Millennium Library.
We hope that within a few years LGBT History Month will have achieved the same prominence in the Norfolk calendar as the award winning Black History Month.
The exhibition will be on display on the 1st Floor of the Millennium Library from Friday 13th February with the official launch taking place at 4.30 p.m. on Saturday 14th February.
The exhibition will be on display in various venues in throughout Norfolk during February and March 2009.
