P Arallel Lives Parallel L I V
PARALLEL PARALLEL LIVES PARALLEL LIVES ANGUS REID PARALLEL LIVES • ANGUS REID LIVES • PARALLEL parallel lives Angus Reid combines painting and drawing, film-making and historical research to make this ground-breaking vision of gay men in Scotland, past and present. The images portray same-sex love and tenderness. Why does this love inspire fear? Why have images like these never been shown in public in Scotland? The research goes deep into secret archives to find the story of Harry Whyte, Scotland’s forgotten advocate of gay liberation who stood up to Stalin when it mattered. Whyte’s protest is parallel to that of Tomasz Kitliński in contemporary Poland; Reid works in solidarity with Kitliński, and the Polish LBGT community. Parallel Lives is a potent mix of art and activism, whose message reaches beyond the gallery and has become ever more urgent over the past months. Using the tools of lockdown Reid kick-starts conversations about The Male Nude, about Being Painted, about Harry Whyte, about Stalin and the Homosexuals, and to make a stand against homophobia he asks Peter Tatchell for a master-class in LGBT activism. Click on the titles to launch the films. Those films, this catalogue and the exhibition itself aim to start conversations within the LGBT community and in society at large about art, about tolerance, about love, and about activism. Curated by Andrew Brown and Robert McDowell 3 4 parallel lives angus reid I am not alone but I feel alone do I obey the uncontrollable beating of my heart I feel alone but I am not alone I have -

Pride, Politics and Protest: A Revolutionary Guide to LGBT+ Liberation 2nd edition by Laura Miles, Isabel Ringrose and Tomáš Tengely-Evans Published February 2021. © Socialist Worker PO Box 74955, London E16 9EJ ISBN 978 1 914143 14 4 Cover image by Guy Smallman Pride Politics and Protest 1 Introduction HE HISTORY of socialist struggles and socialist movements is also a history Tof fighting oppression. Creating a socialist society must also involve creating the conditions for ending oppression, including the oppression of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT+) people. Building a socialist world, run by working class people from the bottom up, requires winning masses of people to a vision of a new sort of society. It’s one where racism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia are recognised for the cruel, pernicious and divisive ideas that they are. This is no easy task. Many people are torn between hopes for a better world—and a feeling that the rich and powerful who run the capitalist system are too strong to get rid of. -
