“We chose Willie O’ the Winsbury to kick off with (Roud 64/ Child 100) because of the great verse where the king is so clearly into Willie O’t W. It’s a cracking queer folk song. More to come!”

Re sharing from our 2020 LGBT History month icons

Re sharing from our 2020 LGBT History month icons series. Rest in Power xx Posted @withregram • @margatepride LGBT History Month Icons #22 is April Ashley⁣
⁣April Ashley is one of the first British people known to have had gender reassignment surgery; she travelled to Morocco to have the operation in 1960. After returning to Britain, she began using the name April Ashley and became a successful fashion model. A ‘friend’ sold her story to the media in 1961, and the Sunday People outed Ashley as a trans woman. She became a centre of a scandal, and she struggled to get work. She showed incredible resilience in the face of stigma, saying in an interview with the Telegraph in 2010 ‘Someone asked me the other day if I used to cry when that happened. No, I went away and got a newspaper to find another job. I didn’t have time to cry.’⁣
⁣Ms Ashley was made an MBE in 2012 for services to transgender equality and said that for over half a century she had been writing to LGBT people and helping them through tough times: “I’ve written thousands and thousands of letters… To me it was just a normal thing to do - I never thought I was doing anything special quite frankly.”⁣

What a year! We wanted to look back, take stock

What a year!

We wanted to look back, take stock of 2021 and celebrate everything the community has achieved.

From curating a gallery at Turner Contemporary; to presenting the inaugural Mx Margate: a very queer beauty pageant as well as our first Christmas panto; hosting tea-time socials and dancing on stage at Dreamland; collaborating with Hartsdowne Academy and Ageless Thanet; performing at East Kent Mencap’s Christmas party and presenting an incredible Art Trail and more, 2021 packed in a LOT despite you-know-what.

A huge thank you from the Margate Pride team to everyone that supported all this activity. Whether performing, making a donation, having your portrait taken, hosting an event, volunteering or simply showing up, everyone involved has helped Margate Pride continue to be a positive energy in our town and beyond. All this supports our mission to celebrate LGBTQIA+ life and serve as a platform to continue the fight for equality and to challenge prejudice.

Looking forward to 2022. We hope to host the postponed social in late Jan, and have some workshops planned during LGBT History month (Feb) alongside our gallery at Turner Contemporary. This and the first of our History Club’s planned for 16th Jan, and much much more…

Wishing you a safe happy healthy Christmas and New Year.

Lots of love, team MP xxx

In these discombobulating times we wanted to share

In these discombobulating times we wanted to share this pure queer joy. Congratulations @prinxsilver and @ktduchenne 💗💗

Posted @withregram • @prinxsilver 2021, it’s been one hell of a year! But it couldn’t end without highlighting this BIG moment… the day my partner in life and I got hitched! 🤠 Yeehaw!

Ofc our civil partnership had to be cowboy-themed, and ofc we had to make everything ourselves, à la queer DIY style (I mainly carried stuff as a proper butch tbh, and @ktduchenne made/found most things!). Truly a magical day celebrating radical queer love!

My amazing partner customised and altered our suits as well!! And for those who don’t know it, KT also makes most of my drag costumes. Yeah, the stunning jackets I normally wear (among other shit) are her own creation – she’s totally self-taught (cos her actual job is a Doctor! Such a powerhouse).

We’re not just best partners but also a creative power couple. KT is one of the most inventive, patient, and generous people I’ve met. She’s definitely the big boss, and I’ve learned so much with her - including my first steps in sewing 🪡

Going back to the civil partnership, I’d love to share a bit of the speech we both wrote along with the “celebrant”, our friend @dannithegirl (aka the slutty nun)…

“This isn’t a traditional wedding, it is a celebration of queerness, of deviance from the hetero-cis-patriarchal norm, of community and togetherness, and of beautiful, wonderful, but also really fucking mundane day to day LOVE.

Queerness is joy. It originally meant strange or peculiar, and then moved to meaning deviance, disruption, to walk off the usual path. How wonderful to be all those things!”.

Love you lots @ktduchenne, you’re the best partner I could have asked for! And I’ll be here even when the ride is rough… Very grateful for you.

And to everyone else:
We’re here, we’re queer, and we won’t live in fear!
