This story centres on a small, Welsh, mining town, Dulais, during the time of the miners' strikes and the support and financial aid they received from the Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners group. The bond formed between these two differing groups is at once hilarious and touching as they overcome their differences to fight for a shared cause. The film, 'Pride,' gained national recognition when it hit our screens, not only winning a BAFTA but making...

'Good As You' is the 30 year history of British gay culture - from the identification of the HIV virus in 1984, through Manchester's self-selection as Britain's gay capital, to Eastenders' Colin and Barry's first primetime televised gay kiss and the real-time romance of Elton John and David Furnish's eventual marriage.

Trans people in Britain today have become a culture war 'issue'. Despite making up less than one per cent of the country's population, they are the subjects of a toxic and increasingly polarized 'debate' which generates reliable controversy for newspapers and talk shows. This media frenzy conceals a simple fact: that we are having the wrong conversation, a conversation in which trans people themselves are reduced to a talking point and denied a meaningful...
