Sing It Pink

In 1983, a cabaret performer named Mark Bunyan decided London's gay music scene was missing a choir. When Mark and a few other singers got together for a first rehearsal, they had no idea that they were creating a hope machine that would sing and dance through some of the greatest challenges in LGBTQ+ history. This is Sing It Pink!, the touching story of the Pink Singers, London and Europe's oldest LGBTQ+ choir, told through the people who sang for freedom. With archive recordings of pivotal rehearsals, touching stories from choir members from over 40 years, and intimate sound design, Sing It Pink! is a landmark documentary series and a piece of essential queer history.

BONUS: The rent is killing my sex life

What a dominatrix taught me about universal basic income This is an audio version of an essay from the Free Sex Substack - subscribe now to receive my writing into your inbox, and to support my work. Would you join me in a thought experiment? We all have basic needs, such as food and shelter. And most of us have to cover these ourselves. Even though governments promise to provide our basic needs, people are starving and sleeping rough. We fudge through life trying to make sure we have somewhere nice to rest, and that we can go to bed on a full stomach. I’m thinking through the different freedoms that we each have due to the meeting of our basic needs. If I didn’t pay rent, would I have free sex?

Femi Otitoju with Fopé Ajanaku

Activist Fopé Ajanaku begins their journey uncovering Black LGBTQIA+ history with a black and white photo, showing a crowd of people marching together. We know the group to be members of the Black Lesbian and Gay Centre. They are marching against Section 28, in the late 1980s.⁣ Fopé tracks down Femi Otitoju who was working at Harringay Council when Section 28 came into force. Femi worked hard to resist the introduction of the clause to the local government act. Together they reflect on the importance of activism for Black LGBTQIA+ communities from the 70’s to today.

Introducing Queer Roots and Routes

Queer Roots and Routes is made by a collective. We are queer. We are migrants or descended from migrants. And we want to tell our stories. Stories of where we’ve come from and how we move in the world today. We don’t have a boss or a Beyoncé. So each episode of this six-part first series of Queer Roots and Routes has a different host and a different set of voices from our group. Our promise to you is that our podcast is GORGEOUS, FIERCE, SUPERGAY and... REVOLUTIONARY! We all met through the MAUREEN project by The Love Tank, a not-for-profit community interest company that promotes health and wellbeing of under-served communities through education, capacity building and research. An Aunt Nell Production Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

005 - Sex health inequality - Dr Rageshri Dhairyawan

Why are South Asian people in the UK getting more STIs? My guest this episode is Dr Rageshri Dhairyawan. In treating her patients in HIV and sexual health in east London, UK, Rageshri noticed that STI diagnoses in South Asian people were growing, and that they have less knowledge of HIV than other groups do. When Rageshri researched what was going on, she was shocked to find that doctors have known about these ethnic inequalities in sexual health since the 1950s. Why hasn’t this disparity been fixed? In talking with me about how we create a world of free sex, Rageshri discusses what needs to be done so that sexual healthcare reaches different ethnic groups. She’s also working on a book about how some people go unheard in healthcare, due out in 2024. If you live in London, you can get a sexual health test here. For the rest of the UK, check the NHS website. A transcript of this episode is available on freesex.substack.com.

023 - Older people - Hayley Conyers

Does age matter? My guest in this episode is Hayley Conyers, who has been working as a research assistant at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and specifically on a study into the sexual health of older adults. Many people assume that older people aren’t having sex, or that if they are, that’s gross. Well, both of those things are wrong, aren’t they? A free sex world is a world where we can have and enjoy healthy sex well into old age, if we want. The project Hayley worked on encouraged lots of older and disabled people to talk about their experiences, together with doctors, medical researchers and social scientists. They came up with five recommendations for how sexual health services could be made better for older people — and some of the results may surprise you! The novel I mentioned in the episode is One Last Song by Nathan Evans. A transcript of this episode is available on freesex.substack.com.

“Fatally disruptive” | Episode 7

In 1988 the British government passed explicitly anti-gay legislation. Through log book entries from Switchboard, Tash and Adam return to the scene: lawmakers spaffing about what constitutes a family, gay teachers zipping up and living in fear, and bewildered young people with seemingly nowhere to turn to for advice. This episode is filled with untold stories about Section 28 of the Local Government Act and the censorship of LGBTQ+ lives — and concludes with the joyous launch of a new kids’ book by Olly Pike called Kenny Lives With Erica and Martina. Content warning: attacks on LGBTQ+ people, including language that some people may find offensive. Transcript here. The Log Books — stories from Britain’s LGBT+ history and conversations about being queer today. Produced by Shivani Dave, Tash Walker and Adam Zmith, in partnership with Switchboard - the LGBT+ helpline. With thanks to the Bishopsgate Institute and the BFI National Archive. TV clip from Gay Rights – The London Programme, produced by LWT, April 10th, 1987. TV clip from Back In The Closet, produced by Thames TV, January 14th, 1988.
