Assorted LGSM Pin Badge

Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) was formed in 1984, bringing together LGBTQ+ activists in support of striking mining communities.

Co-founder Mark Ashton recognised a shared struggle between miners and gay people: both were organising for their rights in the face of a government they felt was unwilling to listen.
