OUTing the past

As part of LGBT History Month, the National Maritime Museum is hosting an evening of talks celebrating and reflecting on LGBTQ lives throughout history. This year’s lectures will be exploring the experiences and perspectives of queer youth through the eyes of our expert panel. As part of the evening, historian and anthropologist Dr Clifford Williams will be presenting his archival research and bringing to light (possibly) one of the first gay teenage groups in the world.

Any age
