Stonewall and a lifetime of interfering with Lisa Power

from Queer Recollections · host Will Hecker

Lisa Power, co-founder of the gay rights lobby Stonewall, HIV/AIDS activist, and self-described “serial interferer” in LGBTQ rights, speaks to Queer Recollections about her lifetime of activism. In our conversation, we consider how Margaret Thatcher’s anti-gay Section 28 galvanised the movement in the late 1980s, the founding, controversy and influence of Stonewall, political lesbianism, and the striking parallels between Coronavirus and the AIDS epidemic.
