LGSM Retro Badges

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.

These badges were created by LGSM to celebrate the 30 year anniversary of their ground-breaking campaign and their immortalisation in the film Pride.

Measures 25mm (approx. size of £1 coin)
