About this listen
This episode tracks LGBTQ plus history in the UK from 1957 to 2026. We discuss the Wolfenden Report and the 1967 Sexual Offences Act; they explore how the movement shifted from hidden social groups to radical public activism. Peter Tatchell shares his memories of the first London Pride in 1972. Tom Robinson explains the founding of Gay Switchboard and the importance of sharing legal and medical information. The team also reflects on the rise of the pink pound and the continued importance of visibility in local communities today.
