Tracks of Our Queers

Peter Tatchell, human rights campaigner

Andy Gott Season 6 Episode 2

Peter Tatchell is an activist and human rights campaigner.

Not long after leaving Australia for the UK, Peter joined the Gay Liberation Front and became one of the co-organisers of the UK's first Pride march. He hasn't missed a London Pride since.

After a brief but violently homophobic parliamentary career in the 80s, Peter co-founded OutRage! in 1990 and helped spearhead the campaign for same-sex marriage.

Today, he's the director of the Peter Tatchell Foundation, and shares a weekly newsletter with updates on human rights campaigns around the world.
