    Mind Your Head is a partnership between Happy Valley Pride and the Brunswick Centre.

    Malcolm Struthers, Mind Your Head project manager and hypnotherapist, chats to a variety of people related to the campaign. In this episode Malcolm chats with Peter Tatchell.

    Peter has been campaigning for human rights, democracy, LGBT+ freedom and global justice since 1967. Among his many involvements, he was a leading activist in the Gay Liberation Front from 1971-74 and in the queer human rights group OutRage! from 1990-2011. He helped organise the UK's first Pride in 1972 and has marched in every Pride London parade since then. In 1973, he staged the first LGBT+ protest in a communist country, East Germany. His international solidarity activism has resulted in him being beaten by President Mugabe's bodyguards in Brussels in 2001 and by Russian neo-Nazis in Moscow in 2007.

    Through the Peter Tatchell Foundation, he currently campaigns for human rights in Britain and internationally. A documentary about his life, Hating Peter Tatchell, is currently streaming on Netflix.

    He is also a patron of Happy Valley Pride.
