Although these men faced prosecution in the courts and vilification in parliament and the press\, they showed extraordinary resilience and created a vibrant  queer subculture in the capital\, which was also reflected in the arts. \nA delicious hot meal will be served just after 6pm. Please let us know in advance if you intend to come so we can plan for numbers. \nIf travel or care costs are a barrier to taking part\, you need to let us know in advance.
