Description

To celebrate London Pride 1st July, we share a tour through queer London history, anchoring at Gay’s the Word, a Bloomsbury book shop that has played a pivotal role in queer life and history.

We’ll think about…

  • the systems that have oppressed, 
  • how oppression can stoke the spirit of activism,
  • unusual alliances in times of struggle,
  • how a bookstore can serve as beacon and safe harbor, 
  • a specific story of mutual support that is nearly impossible to believe, and
  • the struggle for identity and the collective good.
