Panel Discussion: 'Don't Say Gay' - Why Section 28 Matters Today
Image
Free, no booking required.
Led by Sarah Drummond, writer and director of forthcoming film ‘Don’t Say Gay’.
Section 28, the legislation implemented in 1988 which banned local authorities from ‘the promotion of homosexuality’ impacted a whole generation of LGBTQIA+ people from the 1980s to the present day. Haringey led the way as the centre of protests against the government and the Act, from the local activists to the Council’s Lesbian and Gay Unit.
Join us for a panel discussion with local activists and campaigners hosted by Sarah Drummond, producer and writer of ‘Don’t Say Gay’, the first feature-length film in production examining Section 28. The panel will explore the Act’s long and damaging legacy, which is still impacting LGBTQIA+ communities today. A preview of the film will be shown.
Doors open 7pm for a 7.30pm start.
