Death Notice for Percy Steven aged 79: http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/223497/steven

 

Notable in that he was one of the first to take advantage of a civil partnership with his partner Roger Lockyer, who gained a BBC Obit when he died in October 2017: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-41851871

 

I wonder if they will be gracious enough to do the same for Percy.

I can't declare her the "Cas Willow of 2019" because she won't make it.... the Cas Willow of 2018?

Dead late January.

Tom Gallagher, the first foreign service officer to come out and who later became a gay activist, has died.  He was 77.  Prior to making his sexuality public, he'd worked as a White House aide, assisting in President Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty programs. He later joined the State Department.

I dunno, she's been given the all clear. May be one to watch if she goes quiet though; it might, unlike her top, make a comeback.

I remember watching that doco when it first aired.

As for her being a ''pioneer'' you would have to say that April Ashley walked that walk long before her.

Ashley is still alive at the age of 83.

I remember watching that as well. The doctor inspired one of the characters in The League of Gentlemen.

 

Jan Morris also transitioned a few year before Julia too and is still in the land of the living.

Yes, that Doctor, the one you could hear but never saw?

He was a complete monster.

Yes he was . He was actually the psychiatrist it seems rather than a general practitioner. My memory playing tricks again.

I met her once during the early 80s. She was a friend of one of the owners of the nightclub where I worked and she did one night behind the bar. At the end of the night as all the staff gathered for a drink, she sat on a low barstool, adopted a posture which would now be called manspreading and proclaimed "I'm fucking knackered".

R.I.P. dear heart.  :angel:

Yes he was.

He was arrogant beyond belief and, basically, tried to hold her to ransom by threatening to veto her surgery if she did not do things the way he wanted them done.

That is when, IIRC, she went private and had the surgery done.
