weekend was a benefit for the miners that night. Speeches were followed by a sight I have never seen of gay couples mixed couples freely dancing Not for a moment had the group expected to be so warmly accepted and visible Undoubtedly the weekend was an historic occasion. For the first time links have been made between two of the most unlikely sections of the working class against the enemy. On the hand the miners. traditionally macho, and on the other, lesbians and gay men, traditionally despised Colossal amounts of prejudice were wiped away. This event must be seen as a precedent for further such links. • Lesbians and gays support the miners meets every Sunday at 6pm in the Fallen Angel, Graham S off City Rd, London N (Angel tube).
