Ian Townson
From LGBT Archive
Ian Townson is a gay campaigner, active during the 1970s. He was born and raised in Lancaster, escaping homophobic persecution in the mid-1970s to Brixton via Bradford where he met gay liberation activists from London while 'zapping' a conference on psycho-sexual disorders by 'expert' psychologists. He was involved in the South London Gay Commmunity Centre in Brixton.[1]
In 2006 he deposited his papers with the Hall-Carpenter Archives but they now appear to be in the Bishopsgate Institute.
