LGBT History Project: LGBT Titbits

Friday, 6 February 2015

Last night (5th February), I gave a public presentation at Sutton Central Library (https://www.sutton.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=2121), based on the exhibition posters I created for Sutton LGBT Forum.
(For the posters, see http://lgbthistoryproject.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/lgbt-titbits.html.)

During the presentation, I promised to make the slides and my presentation notes available. Please feel free to make use of them, if you wish. (NB: I have linked to PDF versions of the material, if you would prefer the original PowerPoint/Word files, just contact me at the email address given in the blog's header.)

We also marked the recent Royal Pardon for Alan Turing with an extra poster:

The BBC article linked at the foot of the poster itself includes a link to the petition demanding a pardon for the estimated 49,000 gay men convicted under the same legislation as Turing.

Finally...

COMPETITION

Sutton LGBT Forum has a 12 day guest pass for a local Nuffield Health gym (worth over £100) to give to the person who can answer five questions based on the exhibition posters. The questions are here:
