Gay Britannia: Celebrating LGBTQ+ History in Britain by Shahidha Bari, Simon Callow, Sandi Toksvig, Ben Hunte, Graham Norton, Alan Carr, Stephen Fry, Susan Calman

challenging emotional funny informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

3.0

Not a book at all, but a collection of radio excerpts strung together to mark 50 years since the decriminalisation of homosexual activity in 1967. Informative, funny and movingly personal in different sections, but not very coherent for anyone wishing to really understand the experience of the LGBTQ+ community. For me the most interesting section was 'Who decides if gay is okay?' comparing the British and Zambian responses to changes in social attitudes.
