Joining Birmingham GLF
1973
“After Keele, I lived in a commune in Bristol then came to Birmingham in 1973 to do a post graduate course for a year. I knew there was a Birmingham Gay Liberation Front (GLF) as we’d had various conferences at Lancaster University and such places where groups had met up, to form a national network. I’d visited Birmingham for a conference the previous year (1972) so as soon as I arrived here I immediately went and made contact with GLF here. GLF in Birmingham was running out of the Quakers Meeting House / Peace Centre, so I went straight there and ended up at the disco on the following Friday. I met someone who became my partner at that Gay Liberation Front disco in the second week I was here and I never left Birmingham.”
