Tash got a tour of Bradford’s queer history with Alice Parsons, who runs the city’s Castles in the Sky project. We learnt all about the local Switchboard, the gay arts festival, the lesbian support line, and how these all stem from Bradford’s radical politics.
Discussed in this episode:
Amnesty International report on gender-critical movements and media
Castles in the Sky in Bradford
