This year being the 50th Anniversary of the (partial) decriminalization of homosexuality for gay men in the UK (it was never ever illegal for lesbians) London is getting ready to celebrate big time. As well as all the major Exhibitions planned by the capital’s leading Museums (see below) Queer Tours of London are being set up to bring forth the visibility of our incredible community at large and the journey to how we became who we are today.
Called A Mince Through Time these walking tours will take you around all the major hotspots of the city where the Gay Liberation Front and other fearless LGBT leaders in the 1960’s and 1970’s set down the groundwork that would establish London’s current queer activism, culture and performance in all its glory.
There are several Walks planned throughout the year, but the one on February 3rd is particularly special as it will be led by veteran gay activist and former editor of Gay News Andrew Lumsden. Perfect for locals and visitors who are interested in knowing more about London’s rich LGBT history.
All the Tours are ‘pay as you feel’ and you can book tickets HERE.
