I wish he had been there.
I went for John but then Adam talked about what he called 'violence of silence' of Section 28. I hadn't really thought about how it affected me, a queer teen during the AIDS crisis with no support from teachers etc. Always felt less impacted than older folks.
But I was.
Finally got a copy of The Log Books and got it signed by Tash and Adam! Great to see Tash again and finally meet Adam. John's ears would be burning wherever he is, cos he was mentioned quite a few times.
Reading his parts I got quite tearful but made it through the talk OK!

Canβt wait for this
Definitely!
Three people stood infront of The Bookish Type sign in the bookshop with copies of The Log Books book. The person on the left is wearing a yellow fleece, Adam Zmith, the person in the middle has blue round glasses on Kit Heyam, and the person on the right is wearing a denim jacket, Tash Walker. They are all smiling.
#TheLogBooks tour! Lovely evening in Leeds last night at @thebookishtype.bsky.social with Kit Heyam - so many interesting and heartwarming reflections, including one from someone who used to volunteer on Switchboards π§‘
Lovely evening at Bookish Type in Leeds hearing about THE LOG BOOKS by @tashwalker.bsky.social and @adamzmith.bsky.social

Thanks for coming!
Somehow I missed this - posted up the intervew with my late partner, John Lindsay as part of The Log Books podcast Series 4, episode 1. He was one of the founders of Gay Switchboard.
Tash spoke at John's funeral.

Had a great, uplifting afternoon, along with other members of @switchboard.bsky.social at an event for the launch of 'The Log Books: Voices of Queer Britain and the Helpline that Listened'. Authors Adam Zmith & former Switchboard Co-Chair Tash Walker came to discuss the book and answered questions.
I havenβt talked about The Log Books: Voices of Queer Britain and the Helpline That Listened yet, but itβs so good!
The archive material is rich, the authors are incredible, and itβs been a total privilege to help a little with the context.
