Opis

The period between the publication in 1957 of the liberalizing Wolfenden Report and the introduction in 1987 of the homophobic Section 28 was characterized by unprecedented optimism and political activism among lesbians and gay men in Britain. Here, the contributors recount their own personal narratives.
