Gay Men’s Press
Gay Men's Press (GMP) was a London-based specialist publishing house founded in 1979, at a time when mainstream publishers were reluctant to take books by gay writers. It was part of the Millivres Prowler Group, which received the Independent Press Award at the Lambda Award Ceremony in 2004 for its two book imprints, GMP and DIVA Books[1]
but ceased trading in 2006.[2]
Perhaps the most notorious of the company's publications was the children's book Jenny lives with Eric and Martin, which sparked off a furore leading to Section 28.
