“When I could finally come out to my parents – that was when I felt liberated, and that I could live openly”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In February, we told you about twenty-five oral history recordings we had developed, in partnership with LGBTQ+ volunteers<\/a>. These recordings involve Dorset residents talking about their experiences around coming out, their views on the LGBTQ+ community, family life, sexual and emotional health and socialising. The interviewees range in age from nineteen to seventy-six and their different experiences have led to a variety of opinions and feelings.<\/p>\n

Some interviewees have closed their recording for a period, which is an option for those who deposit sensitive material with DHC. However, the majority of the interviews are now becoming available for you to listen to online.<\/a>\u00a0Please be aware that the interviews address adult themes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We are proud of this collection which developed from careful discussion, sensitive outreach, patience and partnership. Our first concern was the welfare of our interviewees, and it was a pleasure to work with such an insightful group as we designed the project. We have recorded people from a wide variety of backgrounds, but we are aware that our collection under-represents BAME interviewees. If any Queer BAME residents would like to discuss contributing an interview, we’d be very pleased to hear from you!<\/p>\n
