Abstract

Perhaps because of this, the LGBTQ inhabitants of Brighton were comparatively politically disengaged until the late 1980s, when resistance to Section 28 eventually galvanized a more radical, activist streak. Matt Cook and Alison Oram's engaging new book, I Queer Beyond London i , brings together histories of Brighton, Leeds, Manchester, and Plymouth between 1965 and 2015 to demonstrate that LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer) lives have been lived "fully and in diverse ways" outside the capital. The book is not just an additive project, attaching the stories of LGBTQ people in Brighton, Leeds, Manchester, and Plymouth to the dominant narrative of LGBTQ people in the capital.
