united behind the cause. You can stand against it if you want, but

Prime Minister, gets lost around the streets of Soho on the eve of
the vote for Section 28. Unwittingly, she finds herself quickly
becoming a cabaret sensation within London's gay community. This

homophobia and censorship, and how one person could have made a
difference. Margaret Thatcher Queen of Soho received its world

in December 2013. This second edition is published to coincide with
