First in a three-part podcast miniseries this Pride month about Lesbians &
Gays Support the Miners, a small group of LGBTQ people in London who began to
raise money for striking workers in the Welsh valleys during the great miners’
strike of 1984-5. Unknown to them at the time, they would end up transforming
both communities, and Britain as a whole.
LGSM have recently achieved a level of fame due to the excellent 2014 film by
Steven Beresford, Pride. In these episodes, participants in the group, and in
the Welsh mining communities, tell their story.
