Description
This groundbreaking guide will take you through the city streets to uncover the scandalous, hilarious, and empowering events of London's queerstory. Follow in the footprints of veteran activists, such as those who marched in London's first Pride parade in 1972 or witnessed the 1999 bombing of the Admiral Duncan pub in Soho.
Accompanied by a chorus of voices of both iconic and unsung legends of the movement, readers can walk through parts of East, West, South, and North London. Dip into beautifully illustrated maps and extraordinary tales of LGBTQIA+ solidarity, protest, and pride. The shadows of gentrification, policing, homophobia, and racism are time and again resisted.
From the Brixton Fairies to Notting Hill Carnival to world-changing protests in Trafalgar Square, Rebel Dykes to drag queen communes, Queer Footprints celebrates the hidden histories of struggle and joy. Including an accessibility guide and a list of these gems for your pleasure—queer spaces, clubs, networks, and resources galore.
