272: LGBT+ History Month Special with Lisa Power, co-founder of Stonewall | Part 1

What was it like being LGBT+ in Britain under Section 28? This week, in honour of LGBT+ History month, we are joined by a true trailblazer, the matriarch of LGBT+ activism, Lisa Power MBE. Lisa is a pillar of our queer history and was a force for change during this time. We have an incredibly insightful chat about her phenomenal career, from volunteering at Switchboard to co-founding The Pink Paper and Stonewall. We discuss some of your memories of Section 28 and Lisa tells us at which ICONIC actors house Stonewall was formed. 📍 <a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1BdBfTC9sKZTTH7xdHFCdZ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Homo Sapiens Spotify Playlist</a>📍H O M O S A P I E N S P O D C A S T📍NEW EPISODE Every Thursday📍Come play with us on socials Facebook &amp; Instagram @Homosapiens📍Email us: Hello@homosapienspodcast.com📍Podcast Host: Acast Hosted on Acast.
