A marriage of convenience
1975
Gill and Betty both moved to Birmingham around the same time, around 1975.
Gill: “There was a lesbian group that met at The Wellington Pub on Bristol
Street which I went to only once. It was run, quite dominated, by an
older lesbian who lived up in Selly Oak; she was actually married to a
gay man and this was a sort of front for them”.
