York’s heritage: the LGBT community perspective

York LGBT History Month has been invited to contribute to What has heritage ever done for us?, an event on Saturday 20 June that will explore community visions for the future of York’s heritage. We’d like our perspective to represent York’s LGBT community as widely as possible – so we’re asking for your thoughts on the following questions:

  1. York is a city known for its heritage. York also faces certain challenges including housing, wages and making the city centre an affordable and easy place to spend time during the day and at night. How can we think about York’s heritage in ways that help us address these challenges?
  2. How might York’s heritage become a resource that helps us live well together?
  3. What is your vision for the future of York’s heritage?
  4. How can LGBT communities be more involved in York’s heritage?
  5. What would an LGBT history of York look like?

Let us know what you think by Wednesday 17 June via one of the methods below – make sure your voice is heard!
