QHS Community Champion blog

I wrote a blog about lesbians for @queerinbrighton website. Like you do. Read it, like it, share it. To round up the year, our community champions are sharing their thoughts on the project so far, what drew them to QHS, and what they want to do next! Kate, our older lesbian Community Champion, has shared photos from one of their ‘Rebooting Our Archive’ events. The series of … Continue reading QHS Community Champion blog

Re-booting our Archive: Our Tales of Lesbian Brighton & Hove

What we did mattered. It always has. Lives lived, changes created, connections made. And if you were like me back in the late 80s / early 90s – it mattered that it was all done in a pair of purple Doc Martens. As a non-binary lesbian with a history that needs telling and passion for the photography and the ephemera of that life be they … Continue reading Re-booting our Archive: Our Tales of Lesbian Brighton & Hove

Duck me – Dykes on Decks

Duck me that was divine. Yes, Dykes on Decks you delivered everything we hoped you would and more. Thank you to Lebby and Alex for inviting us to join your dancefloor dyke revolution. Thank you to every soul of that frankly filthy dancefloor that brought the energy, smiles and sass. It was epic. You made two old queer disco dears feel very welcome – if … Continue reading Duck me – Dykes on Decks
