Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World

Prejudice continually evolves, both reacting and contributing to prevailing societal pressures. How, then, has prejudice towards gay men in the UK evolved? In this talk, Ashley Brooks (PhD. Cand.), Anglia Ruskin University, will offer a brief history of institutionalised prejudice and discrimination towards gay men in the UK before exploring the nature of modern day prejudice towards them. Why are old-fashioned attitudes on the wane in the UK? What has replaced these attitudes? How do psychologists tap into these attitudes? And, most importantly, how do these more modern iterations of sexual prejudice affect sexual minorities?
