From Prejudice to Pride - Part Two

<p>In this episode, we highlight the extraordinary lives of LGBTQ+ individuals with deep roots in Cheshire. The discussion moves from the tragic prosecution of Alan Turing in Knutsford to the pioneering activism of Esther Roper and Anthony Gray. We explore the life of trans icon April Ashley and the importance of recording 'living history' through projects like Silver Rainbows. The episode also uncovers staggering evidence of same-sex unions recorded in Cheshire parish registers as far back as 1707, proving that our community has always been a part of the local fabric. Finally, The Lesbian Avengers ‘Rage of Nylon' continues as the chapter takes a rather eventful bus trip to Manchester, involving parachute straps, Scotch eggs, and a very right-wing python.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Links</strong></p><p>Body Positive - <a href="http://bpcnw.co.uk" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">bpcnw.co.uk</a></p><p>Studio production by Copperbeach - <a href="http://copperbeach.co.uk" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">copperbeach.co.uk</a></p>

From Prejudice to Pride - Part One

<p>This episode of I-Vada explores the local history and heritage of the LGBTQ+ community in Cheshire. We examine archival records that reveal stories often missing from national narratives. We also discuss a significant 1806 case in Warrington where three men were executed following a raid on a Molly house. The discussion also covers the 1936 Altrincham trial, which was one of the largest prosecutions of gay men in English history. Other topics include the Cheshire connections of Anne Lister, the history of aversion therapy in Chester, and the growth of the Campaign for Homosexual Equality (CHE) in the 1970s. </p><p>This episode was so in-depth that we&#39;re going to conclude it next week in Part Two.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Links</strong></p><p>Body Positive - <a href="http://bpcnw.co.uk">⁠bpcnw.co.uk⁠</a></p><p>Studio production by Copperbeach - <a href="http://copperbeach.co.uk">⁠copperbeach.co.uk⁠</a></p>

HIV and AIDS

<p>In this episode, we discuss the history of HIV and AIDS in the UK and globally. We trace the timeline from the early 1980s, when the condition was first known as &#39;Gay-Related Immune Deficiency&#39; (GRID), to the identification of HIV and the later development of life-saving combination therapies. We reflect on the &#39;Don&#39;t Die of Ignorance&#39; government campaign, the stigma faced by the community, and the vital role of grassroots activism and support networks like the Terrence Higgins Trust and George House Trust. The episode also features an interview with actor and activist Nathaniel J. Hall, who discusses the impact of the TV series &#39;It’s a Sin&#39; and living with HIV today.</p><ul><li><p>Evolution: The change from GRID to AIDS and HIV.</p></li><li><p>1980s Fear: The effect of the &#39;tombstone&#39; adverts on the community.</p></li><li><p>Volunteer Support: Early work by the Terrence Higgins Trust.</p></li><li><p>Royal Support: Princess Diana&#39;s visit to patients.</p></li><li><p>Treatment: The move from AZT to modern combination therapy.</p></li><li><p>Special Guest: Nathaniel J.
