This year marks the 50th anniversary of the 1967 Sexual Offences Act, which decriminalised homosexual acts between men over 21 in England and Wales.
To celebrate, Historic Royal Palaces (HRP) is hosting night-time tours that delve into the LGBT+ past of the Tower of London and Hampton Court Palace. The tours bring together storytelling, performances and expert talks that explore ideas of gender and sexuality from across centuries of royal history.
Founded in 1066, the Tower of London peels back its history in Pride, Power and Politics (26-27 May; p. 29), a tour that explores the changing attitudes to gender and sexuality from the 12th century to the present day.
