Come Out By Sunil Gupta

The photographs in this new book encompass the period from the mid to late 1980s and recount Pride marches before corporate sponsors, and their logos, as well as specific marches that were responding to a single event; antinuclear CND protests and demonstrations supporting the miners’ strikes, and of course, the several protests against Clause 28 - a legislative designation for a series of laws across Britain that prohibited the "promotion of homosexuality" by local authorities. Introduced by Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government, it was in effect from 1988 to 2000 in Scotland and from 1988 to 2003.

"Photography was also in the middle of a great documentary debate at that time, questions arose regarding shooting political marches, who was taking the pictures and for which purpose. I wanted to make my point of view very clear, which was that of someone from within the community. And it was my community." - Sunil Gupta
