Punching Above its Weight - Nottingham in the Context of Britain's Queer History

About Punching Above its Weight - Nottingham in the Context of Britain's Queer History

This public lecture, delivered by guest speaker Mr David Edgley from Nottinghamshire’s Rainbow Heritage, will offer a brief survey of the UK’s queer history, heritage and activism, with a focus on those relevant to Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. It will start with the 1885 Labouchere amendment and include the imprisonment of Oscar Wilde, banning of The Well of Loneliness, the 1948 Kinsey report, the arrest of Alan Turing, the outing of April Ashley and the 1967 Sexual Offences Act and its deficiencies leading up to Section 28. It will then move on to the positive legislation from 2000 onwards. This workshop type of public lecture may include interactive ‘thought exercises’ about what constitutes homophobia, biphobia and transphobia and how to deal with them.
