What?! I must have imagined the non stop rallies and marches then.
To hear Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Round TDF Mix, you needed to have to go in to a gay club.
Bronski Beat even had helplines printed on the records and sleeves.
SM, yes it was strange and fun time in NI back then, but also a dangerous time.
Ditto on the great sounds comment. It's funny that band who really were for LGBT community really were also greatly appreciated by the straights.
