Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World
This talk will cover the gripping story of the trial that shook Victorian England - a tale of cross-dressing, cross-examinations and the invention of camp. Neil McKenna, award-winning journalist and editor, worked as an editor for Channel 4. Working extensively in the gay press he is known for initiating the campaign for gay law reform in the Isle of Man and leading the fight against Clause 25. He is the author of two ground-breaking books about male homosexuality and AIDS in the developing world: On the Margins (1996) and The Silent Epidemic (1998). His debut biography The Secret Life of Oscar Wilde was published to wide acclaim and became a national bestseller. This event is part of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer or Questioning (LGBTQ) History Month at The National Archives.
