LGBTQ+ History timeline and heritage resources

Haringey has a strong history of battling discrimination and celebrating equality. You can learn and understand more about our LGBTQ+ heritage and community activism locally by exploring the brief timeline and links to our special LGBTQ+ heritage resources below. 

LGBTQ+ history has been ignored or overlooked. All too often it has been something only told and passed on from one generation to the next within LGBTQ+ communities. Many stories remain hidden, forgotten - or, sadly, lost.

In Haringey, communities have worked together to change this, and to record, research, remember and celebrate LGBTQ+ heritage. Our brief historical timeline charts key moments of LGBTQ+ community activism in the borough since 1967, highlighting those from Haringey who made a difference in the battle against Section 28 and in campaigning for LGBTQ+ rights.
