Category talk:Pink List 2011
From LGBT Archive
The Independent on Sunday’s Pink List recognises the most influential LGBT people in the UK.[1]
The most surprising omission in the 2011 List was Peter Tatchell. According to Hugh Muir in The Guardian this was because "the Post-it note with his name was shuffled into an incorrect pile and nobody noticed until it was too late".[2]
