Matt Cook, leading gay historian, will be speaking in Croydon on Tuesday May 17 at a meeting of the Croydon Area Gay Society. His talk, entitled “From ‘evil men’ to ‘frenetic faggots’,” is a history of London gay life “from the 1950s to the 1970s and back again”.
Representatives of five political parties will face questions from the local LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) community in Croydon. After each representative has had a few minutes to set out their political beliefs, they will take part in a ‘Question Time’ style event, with David Page, Chair of Croydon Area Gay Society (CAGS), in the David Dimbleby role.
