Event: Our myriad LGBTQI+ lives
Reading time: 1 minute
Brian Dempsey, a law lecturer at Dundee Law School, is to deliver a talk on LGBTQI+ lives.
Mr Dempsey will discuss:
- the 6th century man-loving priest Findchän to the unnamed trans or intersex person (‘skartht’) whose very existence was supposedly a portent of James II’s death (1460)
- via the ‘female sodomites’ Elspeth Faulds and Margaret Armour (1625), the ‘lesbian schoolmistresses’ Jane Pirie and Marianne Woods (1810) and the gender fluid paganist William Sharpe/Fiona Macleod (d. 1905)
- to the fight for repeal of ‘Section 28’ (2000), for marriage rights (2014) and for respect for trans autonomy (ongoing) and infinitely more.
