Queer Question Time - 29th April 2005
2005
Steve said that the Birmingham Pride Community Trust (BPCT) also did a ‘Queer Question Time’ that was held in Birmingham Hippodrome in April 2005. Representatives from three main parties were invited, including MPs Claire Short and Andrew Mitchell. “There was a scene, when the UKIP rep, who had not been invited, refused to leave and was arrested. That got the event onto the front pages of the papers and produced some publicity, it was generally positive publicity.”
