Gay UK: Love, Law and Liberty explores gay lives through personal testimony, cultural expression and legal reform, from the 1895 trial of Oscar Wilde to the posthumous pardoning of historical homosexual offences this year. See original campaign material, journals and posters from groups the Gay Liberation Front, Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners and Outrage!, Sarah Waters’ notebook she used while writing 'Tipping the Velvet' and a first edition of Virginia Woolf’s 'Orlando' alongside a sound recording of Vita Sackville-West from 1954 talking about the inspiration for the book. This is the first time these items have been on display together and there'll also be a number of special events throughout the exhibition, including a panel discussion about the history of queer culture and a discussion about David Bowie's influence on LGBTQ culture.
