https://t.co/UvVJYZxF6m Somehow we ended up in the BBC to talk about our work at @sciencemuseum and tomorrow’s @ExRdFestival 😶 just to add something important that didn’t make it into the article though:
We are delighted to announce that Queer Britain has secured a physical home for the UK's first national LGBTQ+ museum, for all.
Queer Britain will open in Spring 2022, on Granary Square in London's Kings Cross.

While I’m sure he’d be flattered, I reckon Turing would rather see the Government ban conversion therapy, the (currently legal) form of LGBT torture that he was subjected to before he died in 1954
Bored? @LdnMetArchives is looking for volunteers interested in systematically searching parish registers online to look for entries relating to Londoners of African, Caribbean, Asian and Indigenous heritage. It's an important project, so check it out!

This collections role pays £16,929 - well below real leaving wage and @MuseumsAssoc *2017* salary guidelines.
If @sciencemuseum are serious about being ‘open for all’ and valuing diversity as they claim, why not recompense staff fairly?
This salary is an absolute disgrace.
Who are all the hypocrites who voted against abolishing the Tampon Tax back in 2015 but have had a sudden change of heart? First up, Steve Baker, Conservative MP for Wycombe.
If you identify as queer and work/volunteer/study in the heritage sector, why not come along to our open forum meet this Thursday? Message us directly for more info! - QHF
