Now living back in Wales she has worked with leading heritage organisations including National Museums Wales, Glamorgan Archives and Cardiff Story. Shopland has extensively researched the heritage of LGBT people and issues in Wales for 15 years. She devised the first project in Wales to look at placing sexual orientation and gender identity into Welsh history, and managed Gender Fluidity, the first funded transgender project in Wales. She has been the main organiser of LGBT History Month Cymru for three years and arranged for Gillian Clarke to write the first poem in the world by a national or poet laureate celebrating the LGBT people of a country. Her work has appeared in the Welsh press, radio and TV and she regularly provides advice and support in the history of LGBT people in Wales. She lectures to staff networks of the Welsh Government, to numerous museums, archives, charities and other events such as BiFest, Sparkle and Pride.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAdolygiad y Cyhoeddwr \/ Publisher Review\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is a book to have by your bedside or fireside so that you can dip into it, reading just one or two chapters and then taking the time to absorb and consider what you have learned, perhaps delving deeper into some of the lives and events in the LGBT story of Wales that particularly fire your interest. Forbidden Lives is a compendium of twenty-five short essays on people and subjects as diverse as Gerald of Wales, the surge in cross-dressing in the 1890s, the Dancing Marquis, Pride in Wales and the Wolfenden Report. Norena Shopland carefully accords attention to the famous, the infamous and the relatively unknown; to ancient history and more recent events; to the local, national and global – though always with the focus on Wales. My mind is boggling with information, and I shall be re-reading many of the pieces for confirmation and clarification. I’ve learned so much, it’s difficult to hold it all clearly in my head. I hadn’t realised how many people in and of Wales had played such significant roles in LGBT history. Some names are of course familiar: Gwen John, the Ladies of Llangollen, Jan Morris, even that Dancing Marquis, the fifth Marquis of Anglesey. But what about the Welsh Sappho, Katherine Philips, who ‘from her home in Cardigan was to write poetry that marked her out as the first significant female British poet’; or John Randell, the Welsh surgeon who set up the first Gender Identity Clinic at Charing Cross Hospital, thus finally granting some recognition for trans people in the UK; or the extraordinary Cranogwen – bard, sea captain, owner of a navigation school, the first woman editor of a Welsh women’s magazine, preacher, promoter of Welsh women’s writing, co-founder of the South Wales Women’s Temperance Union? As in any struggle for rights and recognition, there are disappointments and contradictions along the way. There is Goronwy Rees’s involvement in the Wolfenden Report and his ‘one whopper of a mistake’; Leo Abse playing such an instrumental role in the implementation of the ‘basic principles’ of the Wolfenden Report, whilst still referring to homosexual men as ‘faulty males’ and wanting to guard against any possibility of homosexual marriage; and Ernest Jones’s role in blocking homosexuals from becoming members of the British Institute of Psychoanalysis: ‘Despite their liberal attitude towards partial decriminalisation, the beliefs of the psychoanalysts were to dominate the history of sexual orientation. […] Only in 1992 did the World Health Organisation remove homosexuality from its list of mental disorders.’ That is truly shocking. In his foreword, Jeffrey Weeks rightly says that the stories Shopland has brought together here ‘provide the necessary outline of what a full history of LGBT life in Wales will be’. The stories are fascinating, enlightening and thought-provoking in themselves; together they form a valuable sourcebook for further study and research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58819471933814,"sku":"9781781724101","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0041\/5340\/9585\/files\/9781781724101_fb36ddf2-0abd-448f-b213-1c893cebe0ef.jpg?v=1790350327","url":"https:\/\/www.siopypentan.co.uk\/products\/forbidden-lives-lgbt-stories-from-wales-lesbian-gay-bisexual-and-transgender-stories-from-wales-9781781724101","provider":"Siop Y Pentan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
