LGBT Tour of the Year UK 2018 - iGap Travel Awards
Peers and Queers is a tour of Brighton from a lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer perspective, in a colourful 90-minute walk along the beach and historic city centre.
We take in over 200 years of history including Regency Dandies, 1950s lesbian and gay life, and political activism. We discover prominent historical figures including Dusty Springfield, Lord Byron, Oscar Wilde and Anne Lister (subject of new BBC drama Gentleman Jack) as well as some extraordinary unsung heroes, including a pioneering doctor who passed as man decades before women were allowed to practice medicine, an Edwardian 'drag king' and a 'same-sex' marriage in 1923.
