Lesbian and Gay Centre helped me come out '84
1984
“The Lesbian and Gay community Centre in Corporation Street, Aston near the Fire Station had recently opened (1984). My friend said it looked quite accessible, so I went and that’s when I started to come out. It was a coffee bar with some socials and some gay related films. It was where I got my confidence and made my longest standing and dearest friendships. If not for the Centre I’m not sure I would have completely come out. The Centre was just not based on the commercial scene.”
