Peter Tatchell "I hope I'm still shaking a protest placard in my nineties"

A Gay Old Time

Wednesday, 11 February 2026 - 1 hour 16 minutes

Nigel's guest today is Peter Tatchell. Peter is quite simply one of the most important figures in the queer community. He has been campaigning for human rights, democracy, LGBT+ freedom and global justice since 1967. Fearless in his protests, Peter has been responsible for being part of some of the most pivotal and beneficial changes the queer community has seen in recent times. Introducing Prides, fighting HIV stigma, the legalisation of same-sex marriage…the list goes on and Peter, now in his seventies, has no intention of stopping his fight any time soon. He is a true icon.This series is a celebration of a beautiful queer community; people of all ages, people who have had to tread their own path to live their real truth, who have fought with their emotions and emerged victorious, who inspire, who aspire and always entertain. Hosted by Nigel May. Every episode Nigel speaks to a person from the LGBTQIA+ rainbow to hear their story; one person, one life, one conversation. And it always guarantees A Gay Old Time!Follow the podcast on TikTok @agayoldtime and on Instagram @agayoldtimepodcast Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
