On 31st October 1987, the UK saw its first ever national conference of black gay men. Under the title “In This Our Lives”, the event focused on black lesbian and gay history, fears and prejudice within the black community, spirituality, bisexuality and health issues. Organised by the London Black Lesbian and Gay Centre, it was held at Hampden Community Centre in North London and was attended by men from across the UK including Manchester, Leeds, Leicester and Bristol
