The UK’s first and only LGBTQ+ museum, Queer Britain, is holding its first ever museum late in Pride month.
Celebrate with a wander around the We Are Queer Britain exhibition, which marks the 50th anniversary of the UK’s first Pride March, and on Friday 21st June you can stay until 8pm.
Their website explains the positive meaning behind their name: “‘Queer’ has long been a term of abuse for LGBTQ+ people, but it is being reclaimed. Younger people, especially now, embrace it proudly as their identity, and universities use it in an academic sense. We call ourselves ‘Queer Britain’ because ‘Q’ is the most inclusive letter under the LGBTQ+ umbrella, and we want to be part of the conversation that helps remove the last of its sting.”
Browse the literature in their free Book Nook then drop by the gift shop on your way out; all purchases support queer makers/producers and the museum itself.
The museum is open Wednesday-Sunday afternoons and admission is free.
Venue: Queer Britain, 2 Granary Square, King’s Cross, London N1C 4BH
