Passion, pride and protest: Pt.2 - Pride
Pt.1 - Passion
Emma Inch speaks to key LGBT figures about the vital role LGBT pubs play in the journey from youth to adulthood. From the first foray into safer spaces, of being visible, through to building friendships, support networks, forming relationships and finding love.
Pt.3 - Protest
Emma Inch speaks to key LGBT figures about the fundamental nature of life as protest through socialising in queer spaces, and LGBT pubs as the crucible for campaigning activity for greater rights and freedom from discrimination.
“1 in 5 LGBT people have experienced a hate crime or incident because of their sexual orientation and/or gender identity in the last 12 months … many queer pubs are still working hard in the face of this discrimination to support the communities that use them”
