One Gay Day in Marylebone: The Champion Pub Trial

Let us know what you think! [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/12abFRkqXNDcWdVVz9nzv37iHakjo4QpI_IhhMQ5ygII/] Check out our website! [https://paperlivespodcast.wordpress.com] In this episode of Paper Lives, we will be visiting London in 1972, a hotbed for countercultural icons, diverse viewpoints and, at this point, very congested roads. Here we will grab a pint at the Champion Pub in trendy Notting Hill, where we will meet the Gay Liberation figure Andrew Lumsden. After an altercation at the pub, our journey will take us to the local magistrate’s court, where we will hear a rather unique case. Within the pages of the local “straight” press and the Gay countercultural press, we will assume both an insider and outsider position to better understand the challenges faced by London’s gay community at this vital point in history.
