History of London's gay groups

Many members of SLAGO and other organisations have been collaborating on the book Out of the Shadows, a history of the pioneering London gay groups and organisations, 1967–2000, edited by Tony Walton, with a foreword by Michael Cashman MEP.

ISBN 978-0-9566091-0-6. 250 pages, 74 illustrations.

"... an eye-popping account of the explosion of activity in London which followed the change in the law in 1967. The years preceding this date were grim indeed for many gay people and this legislation was nothing short of life-transforming. ... There is much in this book which has not been previously put to paper and that is why it forms a valuable historical record." — Michael Cashman

The book was formally launched at the Annual Conference of the Campaign for Homosexual Equality (CHE), 4 July 2010.

Out of the Shadows is published by Bona Street Press, BM Box 7128 London WC1N 3XX. You can buy this book via Lulu for £11.50 plus postage and packing; see the website, or e-mail tsbbooksearch@hotmail.com for further details.
