The story of LGSM seems more relevant now than ever, alas, with the renewed attacks on LGBT rights — mostly the T, but it never just stops there, does it? — in the UK. It’s been nice to see that the unions still have our backs… Solidarity forever, indeed

Yes and not only were gay rights an issue in the 80s, the LGSM story (the story now being dramtised again in Pride at the National Theatre) shows you can build a bridge between trad Labour and urban progressivism. They are not mutually exclusive.

It's a comedy dramatization obviously, but Pride (2014) about LGSM seems like something @iwriteok.bsky.social would enjoy. (It's also got someone from andor in it).

Hugely disappointing to find the largest #Union in #UK has finally been both neutered & firmly tethered to the UK state ideological direction. Only 42 years since the miners remembered Lesbian & Gays Support the Miners #LGSM for #Unison to volte face & utterly abandon both principle & trans women.

There was a film, called Pride, made in 2014 about the creation of LGSM, which is well worth a watch.

A wonderful new musical that beautifully captures the spirit of the 2014 film and the history of LGSM in the miners strikes. A must see with legs - so glad it's got a west end transfer.

We used to congregate on Finchley Road: Labour old timers, Momentum, LGSM, the odd visiting MP like Starmer – 60 of us, then the next shift – and there’d be the same two Lib Dems outside the Waitrose.

Ooooooo! Is this a musical based on the 2014 movie about LGSM? (Sorry, I live under a rock).

The 1985 photo also comes from London Pride. So again, not a "DC National March" as claimed. Again, I couldn't find a ton of information about their platforms, but let's take a look at the 1987 photo...

Mmmh, unterschätze deutsche Gewerkschaften nicht, die sind progressiver und trotziger, als sie manchmal nach außen wirken.
