Hi Everyone,

I'm a PhD student and OUT member looking for men and women interested in sharing stories prior to 1967 for a project on the gay marketplace. It's particularly important to include the voices and experiences of real people into this project, and I hope to find men and women interested in taking part. I'm based in London, but can do some travelling within the UK to reach people who are interested.

This project investigates understandings and experiences of homosexuals as consumers prior to 1967 when homosexual acts were decriminalized in Britain. I am also interested in how businesspeople and marketers identified and sought out gay men and lesbians as consumers at this time.

I am particularly interested in talking to men and women about books, magazines, theatre, shops and shopping in this period. Men and women who worked in shops, marketing, theatre or publishing are also particularly welcome to participate.

If you are interested in sharing your memories and experiences in an interview or if you have any questions about this project, please feel free to contact me!

All best,
Justin
