“They do mean us harm” | Episode 5
On April 30th 1999, the Admiral Duncan gay pub in Soho was bombed by a homophobic Nazi. The attack followed a series of calls to Switchboard threatening violence. In this episode, Adam, Tash and volunteers at the helpline tell the story of the bombing from the phone room, as volunteers rushed to support the LGBTQI+ community. We also hear from John Sizzle, who runs The Glory pub in east London, on creating safer queer spaces today. Content warning: homophobic language, and stories of hate crime and violence. Transcript here. The Log Books — stories from Britain’s LGBTQI+ history and conversations about being queer today.
