Queer As Art
BBC2, SATURDAY 29 JULY, 9PM
Fifty years after being gay and male was partially decriminalised in Britain, this film focuses on everything that gay and lesbian folk have brought to the country’s cultural life. The strong line-up of interviewees includes Stephen Fry, Sandi Toksvig, Nick Grimshaw, Alan Cumming, Will Young and Russell T Davies. They’ll be discussing issues such as how an artist’s sexuality might shape their work, and whether homosexuality’s mainstream acceptance may have actually made gay themes less interesting to explore.
