From Shuggie Bain,

It was a Christmas card that had arrived two months too late. Leek had found work someplace else. They were building new houses, and they needed young men who could turn to any trade: tiling, plastering, roofing. He said the money was decent, and he didn't know when he would be back. There had been no art school yet, maybe next year, he had said, or the one after. Instead there was a nice girl, and she worked in a tea room, and they liked to go walking together on something called a moor. The card had a twenty-pound note taped inside, a new note, crisp and never folded. Shuggie had wondered about that money for a long time. He allowed himself a brief daydream of Leek waiting for him at some distant bus station. Then he spent it on fresh meat and surprised Agnes with a heaping bowl of stovies.

There had been something else inside the Christmas card; a page from a lined school jotter covered with a pencil drawing of a small boy. He was sat cross-legged at the foot of an unmade bed, his back to the artist so you could see the base of his bare spine where the top and bottom of his pyjamas didn't quite meet. Whatever was holding the boy's attention was nestled discreetly in the curved crook of his body. The boy was engrossed, his face in shadow, and he looked like he was playing with small toy horses that could have easily been wooden toys, military or Trojan. Shuggie knew what they really were, that they were the scented dolls, bright and cheerful and for little girls. They were the pretty ponies, and Leek had known. Leek had always known.

On this day, 15 July 1984, the group which became Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) held their first meeting at founding member Mark Ashton's flat on the Heygate Estate in South East London. The meeting was advertised in the newspaper Capital Gay, and called for lesbians and gay men "interested in solidarity work… to set up an organisation" to support a nationwide strike of mineworkers in opposition to a pit closure programme of the Conservative government. The meeting began at 4 PM, and was attended by 11 people. The group would go on to grow significantly around the UK, raise huge amounts of money for the miners, and build lasting links between the working class movement and the LGBT+ community in Britain. Their work ultimately resulted in the official trade union movement, and subsequently Labour Party policy, declaring their support for gay rights, and the London Pride parade in 1985 was headed by a column of miners.
