The 1980s heralded many challenges for LGBT+ people around the world, political and social. Underpinning all of these challenges was the unfolding of the AIDS crisis: a time when LGBT+ people realised that they were no longer simply fighting for their rights but, quite literally, fighting for their lives. But it wasn’t all doom and gloom; by the end of the eighties there had been some very real progress.
A special event is being organised as part of Cambridge LGBT+ History Month to launch the book. This will be a presentation by Colin Clews and Sergeant Kevin Misik from Cambridgeshire Police Service on From Persecutors to Protectors: The Changing Relationship Between Police and the LGBT Community.
