The Campaign for Homosexual Equality (CHE) is the oldest surviving LGBT organisation in the UK. With more than 150 local branches and over 6,000 members, it has grown from a small regional committee lobbying for law reform with local MPs, into Britain’s largest democratic gay organisation.
Playwright and journalist Peter Scott-Presland examines CHE’s roots in Manchester, the traditions it grew out of, and the secret of its survival and ultimate success.
