LGBT People and the UK Cultural Sector

摘要

The long march of lesbians and gay men, more recently joined by bisexuals, transgenders and people with intersex conditions (LGBTI is the usual abbreviation, though there are others) is marked out most commonly by reference to law reforms and public opinion. But, this is only part of the picture. The appearance of LGBTI people in society's mainstream institutions is an often-overlooked part of the story. In this book, John Vincent sets out to chart the history and present place of LGBTI people and their issues in the UK cultural sector. By "cultural sector" he means libraries, museums, archives and cultural and heritage organisations.
