SANDERS Sue Sanders/Schools Out UK/LGBT History Month Archive 1973-2018 Name of Creator: Sue Sanders/Schools Out UK/LGBT History Month Extent: 45 boxes Administrative/Biographical History: Sue Sanders (b 1947), Emeritus Professor Harvey Milk Institute 2015, is a British LGBTQ+ rights activist who has specialized in challenging oppression in the public and voluntary sectors for over 40 years. After studying at London's New College of Speech and Drama (now part of Middlesex University), where she received a teaching diploma, Sanders studied counselling on alcohol-related problems as well as Gestalt Therapy and contribution training. She also holds qualifications on dealing with stress and trauma. Since 1967 she has been a teacher, tutor and lecturer on women's studies, drama and fighting homophobia in schools, universities and other organisations, both in London and in Sydney, Australia. Since 1984 Sanders has worked as a management consultant and trainer for the public and voluntary sector. A former member of the LGBT Advisory Group to the Metropolitan Police, she was also an independent adviser to the London Criminal Justice Board, and is a member of the Hate Crime Independent Advisory Group for the Ministry of Justice. She was part of the National Union of Teachers LGBT working party (since 1999), a member of the Southwark anti-Homophobic Forum (which she joined in 1997) and a consultant to the Crown Prosecution Service, helping to produce national policy on prosecuting homophobic crimes effectively. In 1996 she co-founded, with Paul Patrick, a consultancy called Chrysalis which delivers training around equal opportunity issues – particularly anti- heterosexism. In 2000 she became the co-chair of Schools OUT UK, a group working for the equality of LGBT people in the education system. With the help of the Schools Out committee she instituted the UK's first LGBT History Month; this was launched in December 2004. In 2011 Sanders founded The Classroom, a website with over 50 lesson plans free for teachers to use for teaching LGBTQ+ issues across the curriculum and in all Key Stages tied to the national curriculum. Sanders has directed many plays in London's fringe theatres and has been involved in the production of radio programmes for ABC in Sydney. She is the author of poetry and short stories as well as many articles and brochures on feminist issues, education and homophobia. She regularly appears on TV and radio programmes dealing with equality and LGBTQ+ issues, and is a keynote speaker and workshop leader in many conferences dealing with diversity, homophobia, and LGBTQ+ issues.

Duckie combine vintage queer clubbing, LGBTQI+ heritage & social archeology & quirky performance art shows with a trio of socially engaged culture clubs: The Posh Club (our swanky showbiz palais for working class older folk, now regular in five locations), The Slaughterhouse Club (our wellbeing project with homeless Londoners struggling with booze, addiction and mental health issues), Duckie QTIPOC Creatives (our black and brown LGBTQI youth theatre, currently on a pause until we bag a funder).

  • CITY, UNIVERSITY of LONDON Section 28 and Black History Month
    CITY, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON Section 28 and Black History Month: public libraries after the new urban left Colette Townend January 2020 Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MSc in Library Science Supervisor: Joseph Dunne-Howrie 1 Abstract The advent of Section 28 and Black History Month had very different initial impacts on British public library provision from 1987 onwards. Equal opportunities policies in new urban left local government of the earlier 1980s led to an increase of LGBT+ literature in libraries and schools, leading to the punitive Section 28 law, which would lead public libraries to self-censorship. The abolition of the GLC led to Black History Month (BHM) as a legacy of race and ethnic minority unit work. In library services today a historiography of Black and LGBT+ lives has been built through Black History Month and the corrective LGBT+ History Month (LGBTHM) respectively, with both being observed in modern day British local library services. Using desk research, surveys and in depth interviews with British public library workers about their experience of these phenomena of the 1980s, this dissertation investigates this history, recognises the work done by library workers and the results. Findings include the comparison of library services who stood up or fell to self-censorship under Section 28, as well as understanding BHM as a successful legacy of the new urban left’s LSPU and ultimately the value seen in BHM and LGBTHM by librarians today. 2 Contents: Abstract ..................................................................................................................................2

Canadian Edition Final Report Emily Burton and Bob Harding Researchers 30 March 2011 (Revised 10 May 2011) I Literature Review & Bibliography II Methodology III Discussion of Findings (i) Preliminary and Going to Sea (ii) Work, Leisure and Language (iii) Diversity Onboard (iv) Seafarers in Port (v) Coming Home (vi) Trans-gendered Identity IV Recommendations of Potential Themes (i) Departure from ‘Heaven and Hell’ (ii) The Good, the Bad, and the Boring (iii) Sailor First (iv) Homophobia (v) Recommendations for Further Research 2 I Literature Review & Bibliography This brief essay reviews the literatures pertaining to the experiences of gay seafarers in the Canadian historical context. It focuses on three particular bodies of historical literature. First, it reviews treatments of gay seafarers and homosexuality within the broader historiography of North Atlantic seafaring. Second, it reveals the lack of scholarly attention to gay seafarers within Canadian gay and lesbian studies. Third, it examines how gay seafarers and homosexual culture at sea have been addressed within the American historiographical context. This essay also highlights how oral research enables scholars to more fully illuminate the experiences of gay sailors and the nature homosexual culture at sea. The essay demonstrates that while homosexuality has been addressed within the general historiography on North Atlantic seafaring, it remains a largely unexplored topic within the Canadian historiographical tradition. However, pioneering studies in the American context offer useful conceptual and methodological models for incorporating the history of gay seafaring culture into the Canadian narratives of seafaring as well as gay and lesbian history.

  • Open Letter from LGBT Rights Organizations Demanding Justice for Trayvon Martin
    Open Letter from LGBT Rights Organizations Demanding Justice for Trayvon Martin A coalition of national lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights organizations, led by the National Black Justice Coalition and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, issued the following open letter on Monday, July 15, 2013: We cannot begin to imagine the continued pain and suffering endured by Trayvon Martin's family and friends. We stand in solidarity with them as they continue to fight for justice, civil rights and closure. And we thank everyone who has pushed and will continue to push for justice. Trayvon Martin deserves justice and his civil rights. We support the organizations and community leaders who are urging the federal government to explore every option to ensure that justice is served for Trayvon and that his civil rights are honored and respected. But our work does not end there: we will honor Trayvon Martin by strengthening our commitment to end bias, hatred, profiling and violence across our communities. We represent organizations with diverse lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender constituencies. Our community has been targets of bigotry, bias, profiling and violence. We have experienced the heart- breaking despair of young people targeted for who they are, who they are presumed to be, or who they love: Rashawn Brazell, Lawrence King, Ali Forney, Brandon Teena, Brandon White, Matthew Shepard, Marco McMillian, Angie Zapata, Sakia Gunn, Gwen Araujo and countless others. Every person, regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation or gender identity, must be able to walk the streets without fear for their safety.
