Gay Birmingham Remembered

Wombourne Campaign 1986

1986

“The only local campaign I can remember was against Wombourne, a little Council in the Black Country, Staffordshire way. The Tory leader of the Council said, ‘This AIDS is doing us all a favour, all the gays should be gassed.’ A bunch of us picketed and were arrested. I was involved in the background work for that”.
