Last year podcasters Aunt Nell came to Preston to facilitate a workshop with our local LGBTQ+ community for Queer Britain. You can now listen to their wonderful podcast which platforms some of the local queer stories shared during this workshop. Episode 2 is all about the North West and Lancashire! Here is a description for the episode: "The northwest of England is famous for progressive thinking, from women’s liberation to power for the working classes. In this episode, Tash meets some of the folks who are bringing this forward-thinking towards faith and spirituality. From Adelaide Harris and the pioneering church of St James and Emmanuel in Didsbury Village, to Saha (Surabhi Kandaswamy), a trans woman who moved to the UK from Southern India and feels connected to her ancestry and queerness through the birds, butterflies and old ruins found in Williamson Park, Lancaster. Their powerful ways of thinking about the history of faith and spirituality offer a way to explore the queer future" Special thanks to Didier Muller for organising the workshop https://lnkd.in/em4AkAJ2

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance We remember all those who have lost their lives because of their trans identity Thanks to our friends over at University of Central Lancashire for organising today's vigil

This time last year, we hosted QUEER BRITAIN: the national LGBTQ+ museum at the Lancashire Archives in Preston with the Harris Museum. This visit was part of a series of visits to LGBTQ+ communities across the country, where local LGBTQ+ people were welcomed into arts and heritage institutions by Queer Britain to share local queer histories, and contribute to discussions of LGBTQ+ inclusion in arts and cultural spaces. It was an exercise in a living queer archive. This week Queer Britain have published the document which emerged out of these conversations. It is called the "Amplifying LGBTQ+ Voices Toolkit" and you can read it on our website 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eF6icmvS
