LGBT History Month: Leslie Feinberg by Stephen Whittle

To celebrate LGBT History Month 2020, the Department of English has produced this series of short films. In each film someone picks an LGBT writer who inspires them. We are releasing one film a day through February – 29 in all – a community of voices, reflecting just a fraction of the diversity and range of LGBT culture. In this, the last film in our series we are delighted that Stephen Whittle, Professor in Equalities Law at MMU and activist with the transgender group Press for Change, joins us to remember Leslie Feinberg. Leslie was a butch lesbian, transgender activist, communist, and author of Stone Butch Blues.
