Homo Sapiens

22-02-2024 • 21 mins

What was it like being LGBT+ in Britain under Section 28? This week, in honour of LGBT+ History month, we are joined by a true trailblazer, the matriarch of LGBT+ activism, Lisa Power MBE. Lisa is a pillar of our queer history and was a force for change during this time. We have an incredibly insightful chat about her phenomenal career, from volunteering at Switchboard to co-founding The Pink Paper and Stonewall. We discuss some of your memories of Section 28 and Lisa tells us at which ICONIC actors house Stonewall was formed.
