Summary

Following on from last week's episode on the 1980s UK activist group Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners, today's Queer as Fiction episode delves into the 2014 film adaptation of the historical events that led to LGSM. Join us for a discussion of the film's presentation of politics, (more) hatred of Thatcher, and why Pride feels about three seconds away from being a musical at all times. Check out "All Out! Dancing in Dulais", a documentary made by LGSM and mentioned throughout the episode, here. Check out our website, where you can find out everything there is to know about Queer as Fact.

0:00.0	Hello, and welcome to Queer's Fiction, where we talk about queer historical media.
0:03.6	My name is Jason.
0:04.4	I'm Irene.
0:05.3	I'm Alice.
0:06.0	And today we'll be talking about the 2014 movie Pride, based on the true story we recounted in last week's episode,
0:11.6	about the lesbians and gay support the miners' activist campaign during the British minor strike of 1984.

0:32.7	record this podcast and pay respects to their elders past and present. We recognize them as
0:37.1	the custodians
0:37.8	of an oral history tradition far older than this podcast. So we shouted this out last week.
0:42.0	We're going to shout it out again. We had a request from one of our listeners, Max, who asked

1:08.5	which will link in the episode description. We also have some content warnings for this episode. This episode contains mentions of HIV and the AIDS
1:14.6	epidemic, as well as prejudice towards people with HIV, discussion of historical homophobia, including
1:19.9	homophobic violence, and the use of a slur in quotes. If any of that sounds like something you don't
