Born in Perth, Western Australia in the 70s, I spent my childhood immersed in music (mostly Bananarama) and dreaming of living in London. In 1988, at just 17, I made the dream a reality and moved to London. Within a few months, I discovered my first gay club, Bang @ Busbys, which opened the door for me to embrace my true self and finally 'come out'. Soon, I was dancing proudly on the Bang podium every Saturday night, decked out in my black PVC outfit and patent Doc Martens, celebrating my new found gay identity. In 1998 I made the hard decision to head back home to Australia, this time I thought I would give Sydney ago. It wasn't too long before I found myself craving to be around that amazing London gay scene again. No matter where I lived, I never felt that strong sense of community that I had experienced in London. In 2011, just after relocating back to London from Melbourne this time, I noticed that the community spirit had changed. Maybe it was because I was older and now perceive things differently, or that the clubs, pubs and dance parties we used to haunt were no longer there. Or it may even be the fact that there is now a whole new generation out there doing it in their own style. Whatever it was, I felt a sense of urgency to recreate and capture what was no longer there, before it was too late and the memories would be lost for ever.. Since 2012, I have been using Facebook as my platform for the page, however the page was constantly being cautioned over it's content (which was usually caused by innocent '90s Heaven club' flyers). The Facebook autobots became so bad that Facebook eventually moved my page to 'Unpublished', so only I could see it. With over 22k followers, thousands of photos and dozens of videos, I decided to create this website before I lost all hard work that had been put in. Lost Gay London has become a very important archive of our wonderfully colourful LGBTQI+ scene of the past. We, with this new page, are also hoping to create an online forum for you all to chat on. Our community brings together such amazing diversity, news, views, and essential information, all written by passionate and knowledgeable community members. Once up and running, please feel free to start new topics or contribute to an ongoing discussion. Browse our posts and join the conversations and share. Sharing is caring and the more people that know about us, the better. If you have photos, flyers or memorabilia that you would like to contribute to this page, please feel free to contact me, using the email below. lostgaylondon@outlook.com We hope you love the new page and please feel free to give constructive feedback.
