Any one else listening and heard the misinformation put out about the LGBT switchboard and Stonewall the LGBT organisation. In those days there were Gay Switchboard and Lesbian line . Stonewall had not included ( been taken over by) the T when it started. Lisa Power should have challenged this . I wrote in in the hope it would be corrected.

I just added a post about this programme to an old WH thread.

I didn't know that about the Switchboard. It definitely should have been explained.

I was thinking that the Stonewall woman actually sounded very sensible and wondered where she stands on the organisation's current incarnation. Is she still connected with them do you know Daly?

Grrr. I was foolishly listening to WH whilst out on a nice country walk which should have lowered my blood pressure. Instead I found myself muttering grumpily about the inaccuracies about the name of the Switchboard under my breath.

The change in name is only small but it does have an impact because it skews the history of the time and makes it harder to explain to young people that the addition of the T is a new thing and the implications of this change have not been fully appreciated.

Absinthe I think that she includes the T now in information about herself but not sure she is still involved with Stonewall.
