Pride50 Inspirations
2022
What do you think was the standout challenge, faced and overcome by the LGBT+ community in the 1970s? In the 1980s? In the 1990s? In the 2000s? And in the 2010s?

To help inspire your thinking about the richness and complexity of LGBT+ history, Pride50 includes resources, many of which are unique to the project.

For example, read the original short story,
Forbidden
, set in 1957 when the punishment for gay sex could mean years in prison.

Share Peter Tatchell's thoughts on the 1967 Sexual Offences Act, which partially decriminalised gay sex in England and Wales.

Read about lesbian activism, resistence and visibility; and out and proud bisexual leadership.

Watch moving video testimony about being young, male, black and gay in the 2010s. Or the affecting story of one trans woman's journey to self-realisation and freedom. And many more.
