Lisa Power is a Cardiff dyke who's been around for donkeys' years. She came out in the 1970s, spent 14 years with (Gay) Switchboard and 17 with Terrence Higgins Trust. In between she was a co-founder of Stonewall and the Pink Paper, Secretary General of ILGA, the first queer person to speak for our rights at the UN in 1991 and wrote the definitive oral history of the London Gay Liberation Front. She is currently a Trustee of Queer Britain, the new museum and a co-creator of Fast Track Cymru, the HIV coalition aiming to end new cases of HIV in Wales by 2030. She talks a lot about queer history and encourages people to make more of it for themselves and future generations.
