LGBT+ Language and Archives
A selection of s and s documentary TV films of LGBTQ relevance.
When I was researching for this blog, I came across an excellent list of old documentary films of LGBTQ interest, courtesy of Will Noble on These programmes were shown on British TV in the s and the s, and many are free to watch online on the British Production Institute player.
You can see the entire Londonist list here. Here are a few that I have looked at and found very interesting:
An episode of &#;Speak for Yourself&#; from London Weekend Television in , where the London group of the Campaign for Gay Equality (CHE) made a film about their lives. Written by Jackie Forster and Roger Baker, it shows homosexual people chatting about themselves and attitudes in wider culture, enjoying a boat trip on the Thames, and campaigning; there is also an interview with the programme presenter. The programme was originally screened at pm only in the London area. This is a sympathetic, well made and unpretentious clip, which manages to convey a meaning of solidarity and the flavour of the times.

This post is a modified version of an online talk which I gave on 10 December, , as part of my series of four online talks on Cumbria’s Gay heritage. In it, I discuss different aspects of &#;beyond the binary&#; with reference to Cumbria. This includes all sorts of aspects of appearance and behaviour, which are not constrained by conventional gender and sexual binary norms, male and female.
This is the fourth and final talk in my series on Cumbria’s Gay heritage and language through the ages Over the past year, I contain been researching Cumbria&#;s LGBTQ heritage, under the auspices of PiNC, Pride in North Cumbria, and with the generous support of the Heritage Lottery fund; I&#;m very grateful to both of them for their help and support.
In my previous talks, I have introduced ideas about LGBT research, and explored the topics of crime, and of partnerships and relationships. Today, I wish to speak about &#;beyond the binary&#;. I originally saw “beyond the binary” as the title of an excellent exhibition at the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford

INTRODUCTION.
The's as much human nature in some folks as th' is in others, if not more.—David Harum.
One of the most conspicuous characteristics of our contemporary native fiction is an increasing tendency to subordinate plot or story to the bold and re
Still here, still queer? Queer lives and subjectivities in dementia care
Article Still here, still queer? Homosexual lives and subjectivities in dementia care Sexualities , Vol. 28(4) – © The Author(s) Article reuse guidelines: DOI: / Linn J Sandberg and Anna Siverskog Södertörn University, Sweden Abstract This article explores possibilities for the emergence of lgbtq+ lives and queer subjectivities in dementia care, the meaning of being queer for people living in residential dementia care and how they relate to gender non-conforming subjectivity. Our study, drawing on qualitative interviews with four people living in dementia care homes, show how being queer was associated with earlier phases of one’s life course and youthful, sexually active bodies. The dementia care home was described as a depersonalized, desexualized and segregated spatial condition where queer subjectivities could not emerge. However, although participants rarely became recognizable and intelligible as queer in the care context their positionalities must be understood in more complex terms than visible/invisible. Instead pe
