An exploration of the last century of Scottish queer history.
This talk will uncover pivotal moments in Scotland's LGBTQ+ past that have shaped its unique place in British queer history.
From the queer chosen families of women in 1930s Edinburgh and the activism of the Scottish Minorities Group in the 1970s, to past and present struggles around trans rights, this talk traces a century of resilience, resistance, and change.
What does the last 100 years of Scottish queer history tell us about where we are today? Are we moving forward, backward, or is the path something entirely different?
