They're here, they're queer, get used to them! (Because you're going to see them all across the borough!)
Our 50 interactive LGBTQ+ heritage plaques have arrived and they're gorgeous. We can't wait to share them all with you.
How is same-sex intimacy layered into Britain's national heritage? How did queer people reshape their buildings to suit their desires? Alison Oram will be discussing these questions and more next week for our #LGBTHM21 season. Sign up now on our website: https://t.co/MmDjapSNtv
And because we know the importance of a plaque, we're putting up 50 of them across the borough in February '21, marking Islington's contribution to LGBTQ+ rights in the UK, in all the diverse, defiant and joyful ways.
If you've got some spare time today, be sure to check out @LGBTQPlaces, an initiative to identify the locations and landscapes associated with England's LGBT+ heritage. Find your local area, add your own locations and stories and share!
