Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners (part 1)

Lesbians & Gays Support the Miners was a small group of LGBTQ people in London who raised money for striking workers in Wales during the 1984-85 miners’ strike. Unknown to them at the time, they would end up transforming both communities, and Britain as a whole.

LGSM have recently achieved a level of fame due to the excellent 2014 film by Steven Beresford, Pride. In these episodes, participants in the group, and in the Welsh mining communities, tell their story.
