This is a GALHA FREE public event. No tickets: first come, first served until we reach capacity. Recent events have attracted 60 - 80 interested people from all sorts of backgrounds.
Paul Burston will give a talk based on his book "The Gay Divorcee". Paul is an award winning author, journalist and curator whose latest book gives a fictional account of the dilemmas of a civil partnership. One reviewer described him as "Gay London's Jane Austen" and "a fearless chronicler of modern gay life in all its glory and grotesqueness". He will not only read from his book but will perform some of the real life scenes from experience of his own civil partnership.
