The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGBT) movement has been
active in the Bristol and Bath area since 1970. This book analyses
the development of the local movement, focusing on the history of
Gay West, a social and support group which, together with its
predecessors, the Campaign for Homosexual Equality Bristol Group
and Bath Gay Awareness Group, is one of the longest-lasting LGBT
organisations in the country. The book sets Gay West in its local
and national context, describing the early commercial gay scene in
Bristol and Bath as well as the other LGBT organisations which were
set up in the mid-1970s. These included Bristol Lesbian and Gay
Switchboard, Bristol Gay Women's Group, the Bristol Gay Centre and
the Gay Festivals which were the forerunners of today's Pride
celebrations. The story continues through the 1980s, with the
battles against HIV/AIDS and Section 28, and then into the 1990s
and 2000s, as the modern gay scene developed with its many
commercial facilities and specialised LGBT institutions. Gay West
shows how a voluntary group organised itself and interacted with
the wider LGBT movement and with political and social developments
at the national level. It traces the group's struggles to establish
an identity and create a community for LGBT people. Using examples
ranging from discos to police liaison, the author develops his
central argument that the tension between political activism and
social activities has been instrumental in helping LGBT people find
a place in civil society.
