About this listen
In this episode, we highlight the extraordinary lives of LGBTQ+ individuals with deep roots in Cheshire. The discussion moves from the tragic prosecution of Alan Turing in Knutsford to the pioneering activism of Esther Roper and Anthony Gray. We explore the life of trans icon April Ashley and the importance of recording 'living history' through projects like Silver Rainbows. The episode also uncovers staggering evidence of same-sex unions recorded in Cheshire parish registers as far back as 1707, proving that our community has always been a part of the local fabric. Finally, The Lesbian Avengers ‘Rage of Nylon' continues as the chapter takes a rather eventful bus trip to Manchester, involving parachute straps, Scotch eggs, and a very right-wing python.
