This fascinating new BBC documentary traces the forgotten history of London’s longest-surviving lesbian club Pride

, who retraces her footsteps back to the ‘Gates’, the enlightening documentary follows the quest to commemorate its important place in lesbian history.

By the mid-60s, however, Gateways was a lesbian-only club, and steadily grew a dedicated and diverse clientele until its closure in 1985.

“Gay men were criminalised, so that was something to protest against and build stories around. Also, in any genre, male stories are pushed to the front,” she explained. Lawrence, who has been producing, directing and commissioning queer content for over 25 years, wasn’t aware of the legacy of Gateways until she began work on the project.

BBC vows NOT to mess up Platinum Jubilee coverageThe BBC received widespread criticism for 'dumbing down' the celebrations in 2012. Above: Fearne Cotton holding up a themed sick bag during the coverage a decade ago. Ah, the Biased Broadcasting Company. Oh please Clare Balding again? Aren't there any young up and coming talented people? You're spending my money on duds. I'd like a refund please. What they really need to avoid is the appalling balls-up when Philip died and they put royal shit on different channels at the same time. Let the royalists watch their nonsense but let others, who don't subscribe to streaming, have a decent alternative.
