In 1982 a group of lesbians formed the Camden Lesbian Centre. The group went on to join forces with Camden Black Lesbian Group. In 1986 #Camden Council awarded the #Lesbian Centre a home on Phoenix Road. It was the UK’s only dedicated lesbian space for almost a decade🏳️‍🌈 #LGBTHM20

We're at @LGBTIQoutside all month and tomorrow we're hosting a queer zine workshop tomorrow 6-8pm. You can make a zine with us, make a page for our compilation zine, or just sit and read zines from the library there's absolutely no pressure to make, just come hang out ✂️💙✂️

An image from last week’s celebration for Gay’s the Word’s manager, Jim MacSweeney, marking his 30th anniversary working at the bookshop. This man’s kindness, tenacity and dedication has meant a sanctuary for the #LGBT+ community has endured, providing a safe harbour for us all!
