NOT IN FRONT OF THE VIEWERS (PART 2)

Following on from his successful event in 2005, Southwark historian Stephen Bourne returns to present another ‘lost’ treasure from our television archives. More details below.

In Lola (inspired by the famous pop song by The Kinks) a gay transvestite is falsely accused of trying to pick up a plain-clothes undercover police officer in a gay club. But the ‘plain-clothes’ worn by the policeman are made of black leather! Made for British television in 1976 - one year after the better-known The Naked Civil Servant – this thought-provoking drama was astonishingly enlightened and radical for the time it was made.

Diversity, Birmingham

Things that got us through...In this session we will lead a discussion of the support we feel we have
derived from media and the reason this was necessary. This will lead to a discussion around current support in the workplace. You will be invited to share with us a favourite item from film, writing or
other media - something that helped or inspired you (this may not necessarily be LGBT in theme).

Other ideas include (please note these may not be available at each event):

A look at LGBT influence in music, past and present. How LGBT History Month came about and how it can help us gain a better understanding of LGBT issues within the workplace. A look at the history of Trans issues. A seminar on HIV/AIDS issues.

Private Lives and Public Battles, Newcastle Upon Tyne

“Private Lives and Public Battles” is an exhibition that has been put together as part of Our Place In History (OPIH) – a project that aims to put the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered (LGBT) community back into the history of the North East of England. It contains photographs, memorabilia and memories which look at the changing LGBT political social scene over the last 50 years and reveals a number of personal stories of growing up and coming out in the North East. It has been funded by the North East Regional Museums Hub.
