PRIDE : Gay's the Word

To celebrate London Pride 1st July, we share a tour through queer London history, anchoring at Gay’s the Word, a Bloomsbury book shop that has played a pivotal role in queer life and history.We’ll think about…the systems that have oppressed, how oppression can stoke the spirit of activism,unusual alliances in times of struggle,how a bookstore can serve as beacon and safe harbor, a specific story of mutual support that is nearly impossible to believe, andthe struggle for identity and the collective good.Photos, sources, and more at our SHOW NOTES PAGE.Note: Episode image from Gay's the Word bookstore
