EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled ""Away Gay" special leaves Waterloo" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Captured in the 1970s, precisely on the 28th of May 1976, this image encapsulates the essence of equality and liberation. The photograph showcases a group of delegates eagerly boarding a train at Waterloo Station, embarking on their journey to Southampton for the National Conference of the Campaign for Sexual Equality. The significance lies not only in their destination but also in their purpose - advocating for gay rights during an era when homosexuality was still heavily stigmatized. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that these individuals were pioneers fighting for acceptance and equal treatment. Their determination is palpable as they stand confidently on the platform, ready to challenge societal norms and champion love without prejudice. Photographer Alisdair MacDonald skillfully captures both the excitement and courage radiating from these delegates' faces. Through his lens, he immortalizes a pivotal moment where progress towards LGBTQ+ rights took center stage. This print serves as a powerful reminder of how far society has come since then while acknowledging there is still work to be done. It stands as an emblematic symbol celebrating diversity, resilience, and above all else - love's triumph over discrimination.
