Activism: Gays on the Job

by Pride History Group

In the mid to late 70s, job-based groups became active to prevent discrimination and sackings and to tackle ignorance about homosexuality. The most active was the Gay Teachers and the Lesbian Teachers Groups.

Edd Ashmore talks about these groups. Geoff Ostling has vivid memories of the Homosexuality Kit. Ian MacNeill was also an active member.
