Скачать или смотреть S1E9 - Peter Tatchell part 1: Fearless Activism and the Birth of Pride

As LGBTQ+ history month begins, we are thrilled to share the final episodes of our first season.


We sit down with Peter for the first of two episodes. Starting in 1960s Melbourne and the impossible choice between prison and the Vietnam war, which ultimately saw him move to London. On his second day in the UK he discovered the Gay Liberation Front, a movement that aimed to achieve cultural change, challenging the church, media, police and education.

Peter walks us through the first London Pride in 1972 and the challenges faced by the GLF as its flame dimmed. Peter reflects on the personal costs of taking action, including arrests, assaults, PTSD and the fuel that keeps him going: love of people, freedom, equality and justice.
