Gay West by Robert Howes

The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGBT) movement has been active in the Bristol and Bath area since 1970. This book analyses the development of the local commercial scene and movement, focusing on the history of Gay West, a social and support group which, together with its predecessors, the Campaign for Homosexual Equality (CHE) Bristol Group and Bath Gay Awareness Group, is one of the longest-lasting LGBT organisations in the UK.
Robert Howes was born and brought up in Bristol. He was Membership Secretary of the Westminster CHE (Campaign for Homosexual Equality) group from 1978 to 1980, and a telephone volunteer and befriender for London Friend and Cambridge Friend between 1981 and 1992. He has been a member of Gay West since 1985.
