the funniest thing to me abt pride (2014) is the difference in the speeches that Dai gives to the gay club vs the first one Mark gives at the canteen in Dulais

like. we know nothing abt Dai at that point and then suddenly we know EVERYTHING. this man has learned how to talk to all kinds of people, he knows how to play an audience, he's awkward and Welsh but he knows how to talk and he's open minded and legitimately touched that they would go to that much trouble for the mining communities

versus. Mark.

who up until this point we see as this charismatic leader, he knows how to rally his people, etc and then he just. totally blows the canteen speech. "one in five miners must be [gay] too, right?" like. Mark. Sweetie. you threw this poor man into a situation were he might come to bodily harm for NO REASON and then didn't? think? they have you? do that too? you didn't come up with anything ahead of time? you didn't think it was a possibility??? turns out Mark Ashton only knows how to talk to Gay People and People Who Like Him Specifically (bc his second speech in the canteen is much more well received). Mark "Can't Work A Tough Crowd" Ashton, folks

#ndkdkddkf lmao #mark

because the only good reason to go to london on vacation is to visit the filming locations of the best movie ever made and be absolutely insufferable about it

#sorry for being gone for *checks notes* 5 months but life's been crazyy y'all #anyways ik these are not perfect (especially not the gay's the word one bc we didn't know that they didn't actually film at the real store)#but my gf and i had so much fun making them #we also visited the bookshop (of COURSE) and i bought a lesbian romance book set in lgsm which fkekfkejr and also a pits and perverts poster #and i had the nicest conversation about the movie with the man at the counter bc he asked me if i know the movie (sir if only you knew)#this was honestly the best vacation i've ever been on wahhh i wanna go backk #pride movie #pride #pride (2014)#lgbtq+#pride 2014 #movie stills

Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) is a political activist group of gay women and men that formed in a spirt of solidarity with the striking miners in 1984. Mark Ashton, one of the founders, saw the struggle of the miners as the same faced by gay people fighting for their rights against a government that would not listen. The LGSM organised fundraising events like the one depicted in this poster, a concert featuring Bronski Beat at Camden’s Electric Ballroom. The LGSM supported the Neath Dulais and Swansea Valley Miners mining communities, and raised around £20,000 during the strike. The poster was designed by LGSM member Kevin Franklin. (source)
