Jez Dolan and David Martin working as Initiative Arts are working with the National Lottery Heritage Fund to deliver Legacy of ’67.  In this project they want to capture the stories of LGBTQ+ people who were young adults in the ‘60s and ‘70s.  In 1967 the law in England and Wales changed to partially decriminalise homosexual acts between men.  This led to a major change for some people and had no effect at all on others.  If you were a young adult then, did this affect your life – if it did, how?

They’re interested in talking to men, women and trans people who were around at the time.  Your stories will be recorded for posterity in Archives+ at Manchester Libraries and will be the subject matter for a specially commissioned play, an exhibition, and a walking tour of the city.

They also want to recruit and train a team of volunteers to capture these stories of before and after the Sexual Offences Act of 1967, recording the social and historical impact of this legislation.  They will be offering training in oral history techniques towards the end of April.

If you’d like to get involved, details can be found on their website: https://www.initiativearts.co.uk/legacy-of-67.html or e-mail [email protected]

 As part of the Greater Manchester LGBTQ+ Arts and Culture Network, Oldham Coliseum were a recipient of the Network’s Progress Bursary supporting LGBTQ+ projects across the region. For their project they partnered up with the Proud Trust’s ‘Youth Out in Oldham’ group to support an artist in the development of their own craft, to deliver six creative sessions for the group.

‘Youth Out in Oldham’ is a youth group based in Oldham that supports young lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender people, or those questioning their gender or sexuality aged between 13-19. Having met with the group online, it became clear that many members were interested in the creation of music, specifically Metal music, as an artform they could see themselves pursuing. With this in mind,they appointed musician Will Walton as the recipient of the Bursary.

After a few thinking and jamming sessions with Will and Coliseum staff, the young people decided to write a pirate metal song, cherishing the opportunity to talk about the things that they’re passionate about as young LGBT+ people. The song has now grown into an album concept, with another song written waiting to be recorded, and album art in the works.

They have absolutely loved working on The Progress Bursary over the past few months. What has been most impressive to them at the Coliseum is the new ways in which this project has helped them work with young people, from drama to different forms of music.

Thanks go out to the staff at The Proud Trust, the LGBT Foundation, Will Walton, and especially the wonderful young people who contributed to creating the songs.

What does Psychological Safety Mean to You? – See Poster attached:

The study  

The study wishes to explore what psychological safety means to older adults identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) regarding later life housing needs. Psychological safety refers to the ability to be truly oneself without worrying about negative consequences. A lack of psychological safety has been suggested to impact on physical, mental, and emotional health. Older LGBT adults grew up in a time where homosexuality was firstly illegal, and then regarded as a mental health disorder. Additionally, they may have experienced discrimination, stigmatisation, and harassment. It is, therefore, seen as vital to explore this concept within this population.

Why later life housing needs? 

Manchester City Council has secured housing for extra care housing schemes. These schemes offer self-contained housing options and include a variety of services to allow for independence and to remain where one lives should care needs change. Manchester City Council has been working closely with the LGBT Foundation to ensure the schemes to be LGBT friendly, however the question arose what psychological safety means to this population in relation to later life housing needs. Research on care homes (please note that these are different to extra care home schemes, investigating older LGBT adults’ views and experiences of these settings described fear of going back into the closet due to harassment and discrimination by staff, residents, and visitors. Furthermore, LGBT elders described feeling heterosexualised within care homes. They expressed that the culture of the residence was designed for heterosexual adults; alongside experiencing a lack of visibility, but also a risk to visibility. This resulted in LGBT elderly remaining isolated due to concerns of homophobia and inequality. Consequently, moving into extra care housing schemes could have similar negative consequences on mental wellbeing and older LGBT adults feeling unsafe. To prevent this from happening within the extra care housing schemes, it is important to speak to older LGBT individuals to understand this matter further.
