In 2014 a new community newsletter was launched called SGD Life, which stands for Sexuality and Gender Diversity. The newsletter was edited by Quinlan Reardon-Garlick assisted by his late husband Mark. Each issue contained a selection of articles contributed by a diverse selection of local LGBT+ people. In Issue 3 the name was changed to Proud and issue 4 was the last issue produced being published in early 2015

Although it was short lived the newsletter contained a range of interesting material covering contemporary issues and information about local groups and scene venues operating at the time. Issue 4 is particularly noteworthy for its excellent articles on LGBT+ history that helpfully recorded some recollections of community members that might otherwise have been lost.

The front page article of issue 4 is reproduced below.  Scroll down for an archive of all four issues which you can download and read in full. Quin has kindly given his permission for this archive to be hosted on our website so that these historically significant  newsletters remain available for interested community members to read.
