LGSM Enamel Badge

Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) is an activist group that formed in solidarity with the striking miners in 1984. Mark Ashton, one of the founders, saw the struggle of the miners as the same faced by gay people fighting for their rights against a government that would not listen.

This enamel badge was issued by LGSM to celebrate the 30 year anniversary of their ground-breaking campaign, immortalised in the film Pride.

Measures approx. 1 inch in diameter.
