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

Join us at Gay's the Word bookshop for what promises to be a fascinating event with Stephen Bourne for his new book: Fighting Proud: The Untold Story of the Gay Men Who Served in Two World Wars In this astonishing new history of wartime Britain, historian Stephen Bourne unearths the fascinating stories of the gay men who served in the armed forces and at home, and brings to light the great unheralded contribution they made to the war effort. Fighting Proud weaves together the remarkable lives of these men, from RAF hero Ian Gleed - a Flying Ace twice honoured for bravery by King George VI - to the infantry officers serving in the trenches on the Western Front in WWI - many of whom led the charges into machine-gun fire only to find themselves court-martialed after the war for indecent behaviour.
