Have you ever wondered how powerful the magic of the queer community really is? Have you ever wanted to know how to learn from the dead to fight for the living? How does the political climate of the 1980s relate to our freedoms today? Keen to work out how bigotry, transphobia, homophobia and all evils can be banished forever more? Welcome to sweaty all-night raves, pumping tunes and powerful queer activism that all tell a very different story to the shiny King’s Cross we know today.
