What drives someone who helped found the UK Gay Liberation Front in 1970 to co-found LGB Alliance nearly 50 years later? Bev Jackson's journey spans from being the only woman at GLF's first meeting (19 gay men and her) to secretly gathering 70 people in 2019 because gay rights organizations had been "taken over by cuckoos." In this powerful episode, Jackson explains why she believes gender ideology is "the opposite of homophobia," reveals how Stonewall's Ruth Hunt betrayed lesbians by adding the T after promising not to, and recounts the courtroom victory when Mermaids spectacularly failed to strip LGB Alliance of charitable status. From her pivotal moment at age 11—standing up as the only Jewish student in an antisemitic classroom—to watching organizations meant to protect gay youth become their "biggest danger," Jackson's story illuminates how the movement she helped birth got hijacked. Her warning: young lesbians on dating apps now find "20, 30, 40 percent are men calling themselves women."
