Na décima quarta edição da série “Vale a Dica”, Larissa Farias, mestranda pelo PPGHIS/UFRJ e pesquisadora do LEHMT-UFRJ, indica “Orgulho e Esperança”, de Matthew Warchus. O filme narra a história real de solidariedade entre o grupo Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) e os mineiros britânicos durante a greve de 1984-1985. Destaca o impacto do apoio mútuo em um momento em que o governo de Margaret Thatcher ameaçava milhares de empregos e comunidades. Como destaca a historiadora, a greve foi além da luta por salários e melhores condições de trabalho, mas buscou preservar comunidades inteiras. Ao mesmo tempo, o LGSM expandiu o ativismo LGBT ao abordar questões de classe e inserir pautas LGBT na agenda trabalhista. Projeto e execução: Alexandra Veras, Isabelle Pires, Larissa Farias, Victória Cunha e Yasmin Getirana Edição: Brenda Dias

After the 1984 London Pride Parade, Mark and his friends decide to do what they can to help out a group of miners who are fighting a fight that feels all to familiar to the members of LGSM. However the small Welsh mining community will be at odds on what to do with their unexpected allies. This week we grab some buckets, throw a party, make the drive to Wales, and layer up a cocktail  to celebrate the month with a lesser known film. Join us for bookstores, parades, cameras, community dinners, and a chat about Pride! This week's cocktail comes from Chilled Magazine.

It's been 10 years since the film 'Pride' came out - a heartwarming billion-dollar British blockbuster about the birth of Lesbians and Gays Support The Miners (LGSM). Ell and Mary chart the legacy of LGSM from its early days to today's Lesbians & Gays Support The Migrants movement, asking: what can it teach us - or warn us - about solidarity today?

Anja en Jolanda bellen naar Londen en schakelen over van het Brabants naar het Engels. Je kent vast wel de film Pride uit 2014. Die film is gebaseerd op een ware gebeurtenis. Een groep LGBT-ers zamelde destijds geld in voor de getroffen gezinnen tijdens de Britse mijnstaking in 1984 en dat mondde uit in de Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners-campagne. De Nationale Vakbond van Mijnwerkers was niet geneigd om openlijk samen te werken met deze groep mensen wegens de publieke opinie ten opzichte van homo's en lesbiennes in Groot-Brittannië in de jaren 1980. De activisten besloten hun donaties daarom rechtstreeks te schenken aan een mijnwerkersdorp in Dulais Valley in Wales. Dit resulteerde in een unieke samenwerking tussen twee totaal verschillende gemeenschappen. En na afloop van de staking hebben honderden mijnwerkers meegelopen in de Gay Pride Parade van juni 1985 in Londen. Tot op de dag van vandaag is er ook nog contact tussen de bewoners van Dulais en de initiatiefnemers van LGSM. Vandaag laten we ons in de Brabantse Potcast bijpraten door Ray Goodspeed, één van de 11 initiatiefnemers van de LGSM destijds. Luister je met ons mee naar dit sterk staaltje solidariteit?!

To celebrate London Pride 1st July, we share a tour through queer London history, anchoring at Gay's the Word, a Bloomsbury book shop that has played a pivotal role in queer life and history.We'll think about…the systems that have oppressed, how oppression can stoke the spirit of activism,unusual alliances in times of struggle,how a bookstore can serve as beacon and safe harbor, a specific story of mutual support that is nearly impossible to believe, andthe struggle for identity and the collective good.Photos, sources, and more at our SHOW NOTES PAGE.Note: Episode image from Gay's the Word.

Erin and Brennan turn left at that one village without any vowels to find themselves in a village with only one vowel. Wait, are we in Wales? Why yes, good chap! We're in the UK in 1984 when Margret Thatcher (Darth Karen) went to war against the mining unions across the nation. And in these dark times, times when help is of the utmost importance, to whom can we turn for aid? THE GAYS!!!! Specifically a small group looking to buck the system called LGSM, Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners. We're treated to Jonathan Blake teaching the straight men of southern Wales to dance to disco, as well as heart warming stories of the most unlikely friendships. Welsh women having the best night of their lives in London gay bars, young queer people finding their voice, and even older generations accepting their own truths. To reach these goals, they must fight the bigotry of Karens everywhere that are so determined in their quest to be Karens that they torpedo the hopes of their own community. Thank goodness there are Siâns in the world. 

Following on from last week's episode on the 1980s UK activist group Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners, today's Queer as Fiction episode delves into the 2014 film adaptation of the historical events that led to LGSM.  Join us for a discussion of the film's presentation of politics, (more) hatred of Thatcher, and why Pride feels about three seconds away from being a musical at all times.

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. This podcast is funded entirely by our listeners and readers on patreon. You can listen to all 3 parts of this miniseries now, as well as 2 bonus episodes, as well as exclusive early access to all episodes and other benefits at https://patreon.com/workingclasshistory Read the full show notes with more information, photos and videos here on our website: https://workingclasshistory.com/2019/06/10/e23-25-lesbians-gays-support-the-miners/

In part 2 of our chat with LGSM, Mike and Gethin talk about the foundation of the group amidst the destruction of Thatcherism, how they campaigned, how the built links with the South Wales coalfields, and how their amazing relationship with South Wales grew throughout the miner's strike.

In this episode we met Mike Jackson (@mikeinpride) and Gethin Roberts from Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners, who famously supported and forged links with the South Wales miners during the 1984 miner's strike, something immortalised in the 2014 film Pride. In part one we spoke to Mike and Gethin about the experience of the gay and lesbian movement in the 80s. Enjoy!

Happy New Year it’s Episode 90! We’re starting 2019 with returning guests JoJCast’s Jo and Jay, reviewing Jo’s choice Pride.   Pride is a 2014 British film true story of the Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners campaign during the 1980s that supported and raised funds for the miners during the strikes. It’s easy to lump this in with the likes of The Full Monty - Pride does have moments of humour but it’s not the driving force. Its story was very nearly lost and if you know it then you’ll realise how it’s almost unbelievable - while the film does employ some artistic license most of what is depicted is the truth. So important is its story it could have been leaden with over sentimentality or sugarcoated over some of the more serious elements. It’s not a documentary or a biopic, it’s a starting point for learning more about the story and the work LGSM, a documentary would certainly be welcomed though. Pride has such a wide appeal that you can’t feel for everyone involved, supported by an excellent cast that includes Dominic West, Bill Nighy, Imelda Staunton and Paddy Considine is it unsurprising Flixwatcher and guests gave it a lot of love. Scores [supsystic-tables id=93] Pride scores very highly in all categories and overall a very respectable 4.32, highly recommended if you haven’t watched it already.  What do you guys think?

If you have seen the film, Pride, about the involvement of lesbian and gay activists in the UK miners' strike of the 1980s - or even if you haven't - you will find this discussion that took place at Birkbeck, University  of London, hosted by  BiGS (Birkbeck Gender & Sexuality) and The Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities  fascinating. The event was called Pits and Perverts Revisited, a reference to the benefit ball organised by LGSM (Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners), at which the line up included Bronski Beat. The discussion starts with the making of the film and goes on to look at the politics of the Thatcher era when, as Mike Jackson says, you had to be a "very brave person indeed" to declare your homosexuality.  It explores the legacy of the Miners strike and the relevance of LGSM to today. The first section brings together Mike Jackson and Sian James MP, both active in the strike and featured in Pride.  It is chaired by Daniel Monk. In the second part of the event,Diarmaid Kelliher of Glasgow University focuses on the politics of the 1970s and 1980s and explores the culture of solidarity that was so important in the strike and beyond. In the final section, Bev Skeggs, Professor of Sociology at Goldsmiths, University of London 'commits a sociology' as she considers the 'enemies within'. ......................... A couple of years ago, we carried a blog by Chris Creegan which also considered the legacy of that period (Margaret Thatcher had just died). It carried a picture of Chris's copy of the Pits and Perverts poster, one of the few still in existence, and reflected on Chris's own experience as a gay trade unionist and how Thatcher's triumph on the economic front contributed to her defeat in the social arena. ............................... One of the most moving parts of the film Pride was Bronwen Lewis singing Bread and Roses - and here it is...... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiiKgST_G2Q

In GBA 185 we get better acquainted with Mike Jackson. I met Mike at theFocus E15 Mothers Occupation earlier this year and he is one of the real people who are fictionalised in the film Pride. We talk about the personal and the political, going through class experience and class struggle, LGBT rights, solidarity between differently oppressed groups, consciousness raising, activist and trade union history and so much more.
