SUMMARY:Revolting Gays: Film Screening and Q&A
DESCRIPTION:This film delves into the rich history of the LGBTQ+ community in Brixton\, focusing primarily on the 1970s and early 1980s.\n\n\nThis film\, led by Ian Townson\, delves into the rich history of the LGBT community in Brixton\, focusing primarily on the 1970s and early 1980s. \n Originally a one-off event\, Ian’s queer tour of Brixton has become a recurring exploration of the area’s vibrant past.  \nThe film highlights the formation and impact of the first-ever gay community centre at 78 Railton Road\, along with the development of squatted communal houses predominantly occupied by gay men.  \nFollowing the screening\, a facilitated conversation and informal Q&A with Ian will take place. \nAbout the organisers \nIan Townson (he/him) is a gay political activist and collector of Brixton gay community’s past and other gay liberation campaigns and events which otherwise would remain hidden from history. Townson was a part of the Brixton gay community initially as a resident of squats occupied by small groups of gay people for several years.  \nKatie Luna Goldfinch (they/them) is a creative facilitator and activist heavily involved in disability justice and queer resistance. They are a central figure in the revived London chapter of ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) and champion a quietly chaotic\, human and loving approach to activism and community.  \nAccessibility \nThe Centre’s accessibility statement is here. \nCovid-19 safety at the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre \nTo keep our community safe\, we ask that all visitors do not visit the Centre if they are feeling any Covid-19 symptoms including headache\, fever\, sore throat\, consistent cough\, and chills. \nFor current information on Covid please visit the NHS website. \nDonate to the Centre \nWe rely on donations to ensure that the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre can keep its doors open for years to come. \nTo donate or become a Friend of the Centre\, visit our website.
