This is an eerily male-centring, he-peating version of the US LGBT/queer rights story in which lesbians and feminists appear only occasionally and shorn of our context. Ben Kawaller at at one point states that lesbians became part of the gay rights movement during the 1990s because so many men had died of AIDS and so weren’t available any more to lead.
The co-presenter Andy Mills worked on The Witch Trials of JK Rowling and just about has his head about the UK sex realist argument, but even so the feminist perspective is almost inaudible across the three programmes. The vast majority of the interviewees are male and as usual transmen are largely ignored.
It’s deeply flawed and sexist as a history but very useful in understanding how men, especially gay men, are capable of understanding what happened and therefore how to talk to them about the issues.
