were launched at the Royal Courts of Justice the attorney general, Barbara Follet and the London Chief… AM: {yes I remember you saying} SS: …you know which is a big bloody deal. Um, previous to that it was the Metropolitan Police and the MPA, previous to that it was the TUC and the very first one was at the Tate Gallery thanks to Southwark Council… AM: {yep} SS: …because I live in Southwark and Southwark has supported my work enormously, we had the council forum there and they supported me. So the irony is that out initial funding came from the then department of education and skills. 17 thousand the first year, 20 thousand the second year, but they’ve done it totally in the closet, we’ve never been allowed to put there logo on the website AM: {I remember that being said at the conference in February SS: Absolutely I was so angry about I can’t tell you, yes AM: They give you the funds, but they don’t want to be associated with it SS: That’s right and interestingly enough Gypsy and traveller month has started, this is the first year, in June and whose logo is on their website, DCSF, which of course is a rainbow which is…. AM: Actually yes I noticed that, cos when the DCSF was new sort of in terms of the reformulation of the department and I noticed on their new website that it’s a rainbow SS: Yes AM: I though that was a bit [//] hypocritical, one might say SS: Yes, just a tidge, just a tidge. Absolutely. So History Month, fifth year next year, I’m hoping to have Balls, Ed Balls the Education Minister launch it in a school in Tower Hamlets, we’ll see. Um, I I think, I mean I get a sense going round the country and Paul did a lot of travelling as well that [//] we’re beginning to get embedded in the equality calendar. I think, I wouldn’t say that everybody knows by any means, um [//] and we are not as mainstreamed as I would like, so although the BBC not this year but the last year Radio four did about, had a whole month of Tchaikovsky in February had at least five different, book programme, had a couple of dykes and a gay man, dessert island discs had a couple of gay people in that month, I mean it was really quite interesting AM: {yeah} SS: …but it at no point said February is LGBT history Month
AM: Right SS: That I’m aware of. The first year Paul was interviewed by just about every BBC Regional programme AM: {right} SS: …round the country [//] I think its getting into people’s psyches I’m certainly at the Royal Courts of Justice the audience, we had about 400 people there and they were by no means all LGBT people I mean I’m I’m beginning to find ways of getting um what I would call the professional equality sector people and inviting them to events and getting them to think about it and all the rest of it. Um and the whole professionalisation of equality is interesting and sometimes incredibly painful. I mean I can go to meeting where there are local authorities equalities people and you know they’ll talk about LGBT issues and you can see you know that there knowledge is paper thin and sometimes they don’t even know what LGBT stands for so you sort kind of want to weep. We clearly need, it seems to be that we’ve got you know two more years [//] cos my fear is that the chances of Labour getting in again are negligible… AM: {yes} SS: …and it’s not the best Government in the world but certainly one would prefer them to the Tories… AM: {my opinion at the moment as well SS: …yes. If, I think what happens with the Single Equality Policy, I mean I was at a conference on Monday and Harriet Harman was talking about it and there were things I felt good about and other things I felt shattered about. It looks like we are going to lose equality impact assessment which I think is such a big mistake… AM: {right} SS: …um so I think we’ve got two more years to sort of, get in there and then goodness alone knows. What will be very interesting to see is what Boris does, obviously in London. AM: Yeah. SS: Um [//] and he’s got a gay deputy. AM: He has, I didn’t know that. SS: Yeah Richard Barnes is a gay man, but who’s never suffered homophobia (said with sarcasm) AM: Oh! SS: The fact that he’s white, you know, middle class (sigh) hasn’t really clocked, anyway
