Sheffield Queer History (Talk)
February 16, 2021 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
FreeInterested in learning more of Sheffield’s Queer History? join us and LGBTQ+ Historian Sandra Baker Donnelly as she shares and discusses the rich history of Sheffield’s LGBTQ+ community.
Sandra will discuss how the community changed during the 1970s following the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality and during the birth of the LGBTQ+ rights movement. She will explore in-depth how and where the community socialised, organised and thrived during these years and some of the challenges they faced.
Sandra will also talk about their work and the work of Steel City Queer History, a local group committed to documenting and sharing Sheffield’s queer history.
