Mark your diaries: we've got a release date for Sandi Toksvig's new BBC documentary about an iconic lesbian club GatewaysGrind
, who retraces her footsteps back to the ‘Gates’, the enlightening documentary follows the quest to commemorate its important place in lesbian history.
By the mid-60s, however, Gateways was a lesbian-only club, and steadily grew a dedicated and diverse clientele until its closure in 1985.
“Gay men were criminalised, so that was something to protest against and build stories around. Also, in any genre, male stories are pushed to the front,” she explained. Lawrence, who has been producing, directing and commissioning queer content for over 25 years, wasn’t aware of the legacy of Gateways until she began work on the project.
