With 27 years between Marc and I, the archive aims to show young black queer people like me that our history in this country has been rich and lively. A digital community archive that lives on Instagram, it’s dedicated to honouring and remembering black queer life in Britain, namely its sociality, friendships, intimacies, parties and pleasures. It was this photograph that Marc and I used to premiere “ Black & Gay, Back In The Day” on 1 February, the first day of LGBT+ History Month.
