Lambda Pride adopted two themes for their 1984 event. The local theme was “Celebration ‘84, A Decade of Pride,” but they also adopted the national pride theme of “Unity and More in ’84.” The parade attracted 5,000 watchers, the festival remained at the WCPC parking lot, and the rally made a give back after a two-year absence. All the while, the Fundies made their growing presence known to the celebrants.

LGBT History Month: Lesbians and Gays Endorse the Miners, 1984-85
As portrayed in the 2014 film Pride, the small Welsh mining village of Onllwyn in Neath Port Talbot was the setting for the seemingly unlikely collaboration between a group of woman loving woman and gay activists from London and striking Welsh miners and their families during the year-long UK strike in 1984-85.

Following an initial bucket collection for striking miners at the June 1984 Gay Pride protest, Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) was formed in July 1984 after a characteristic from the South Wales National Union of Mineworkers came to speak at a meeting at the University of London Student Union. Some of the women within LGSM formed their retain group, Lesbians Against Pit Closures (LAPC), a few months later.
Reciprocal visits were organised during the year, including a visit to the Onllwyn Miners’ Welfare Hall (NPRN 414833) by some of the LGSM members on 27 October 1984. Over sixty people were committed in LGSM by the end of the strike in March 1985, having collected £20,000 for the striking miners and their families.

2024 marks the 40th anniversary of Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM), which formed in the early months of the Miners’ Strike (1984-1985). Joining us to explore this historical moment and the legacy that it created is People’s History Museum’s (PHM) Collection Assistant Jaime Starr.
In the second of two blogs about LGSM, Jaime will confer the relationship between marginalised communities and striking coal miners. Jaime tackles concerns such as reciprocal solidarity, prejudice in mining communities and the experiences of Black and Asian miners during the strike.
1984 Miners’ Strike: a victory for the miners is a victory for us all
All Out: Dancing in Dulais is a documentary clip released in 1985 by Lesbians and Gays Back the Miners (LGSM). In the film, an off-screen reporter asks LGSM organiser Mark Ashton how he responds to community criticism that the LGBTQ+ group shouldn’t support the miners because “the miners don’t support us”. This ask, in various forms, dogged all the solidarity campaigns organised by LGBTQ+ and Black and Asian campaigners during the 1984-85 Miners’ Strike.

A Gay Astronaut
So guys, I watched Wonder Woman 1984, and let’s just express that the wait was worth it. Our Diana got her Steve advocate , even if it was just for a bit. It truly is a movie for all sexualities:
- Lesbians: we get to observe Diana get under a tank and flip it with nothing but her leg strength. She also wears a suit (!) and that white dress with the slit down the side (!!) Acquire you a girl who can do both.
- Gay men: gets to see Chris Pine shirtless and trying on different 80s outfits
- Bi’s: well, y’all lucky people get to see the best of both worlds huh
- Asexual people: as I said before, Diana kicks a tank with nothing but her legs, and I think that’s beautiful neat. Also, watching Barbara kick a drunk dude’s ass down the lane is 💯
Anyway guys, 2020 sucks but at least Diana Prince is here to come save us with her Lasso of Truth.
