The star of this issue is an interview with Rex Jamieson, otherwise known as Mrs Shufflewick. Gay News begins a long-running feud with J Martin Stafford of CHE, who, it alleges, had tried to get the paper prosecuted for their treatment of the awful Lord Longford. A teacher is sacked for being gay by his public school – perfectly legally. 30 GLF campaigners tried to march through Brighton, but were diverted by police. Reviews include Hulla Baloo and The Unrecorded Life of Oscar Wilde by Rupert Croft-Cooke.

Julie Frost, one of the GN editors and members of the paper’s editorial collective was stopped and questioned by Chelsea police, who after asking him for his name and address, took a ‘Glad to be Gay’ badge away, calling it an “offensive weapon”. – page 6
