Is our male-dominated gay community chauvenist? Adrian Gillan asks leading lesbians about the rise of the girl bar and gender dynamics out on the scene.

Clare Summerskill, comedienne - www.claresummerskill.co.uk - Of course the UKs LGB scene is male dominated! Especially if your’e talking about gay bars in central London or Manchester, then yes, youll find many more male-run and owned venues. But in the last ten years I’ve really noticed an increase in women-run events for lesbians, which are maybe womens equivalent of the scene. These days I’m getting asked to perform at book and music festivals, lesbian-themed conferences, as well as in theatres and cabaret venues around the country. ...more...

SPENCER:THE SECRETARIAL DIARIES

Ackerly was born in Herne Hill, south London, the son of Alfred Roger Ackerly, a director of Elder & Fyffes, the banana importers, and Netta Aylward, an actress.

During the First World War he fought in the trenches and rose to the rank of captain. He was taken prisoner and spent eight months in Germany and then a year interned in Switzerland. After the war he went up to Magdalene College, Cambridge to read law but switched to English literature.

Thanks to E. M. Forster he worked in India as a companion and secretary to the Maharajah of Chhatarpur, and tutor to his son. This period is described in his first work of prose, Hindoo Holiday, Which alludes to the homosexuality of his employer, much to Forsters dismay. His first play, The Prisoners of War, based on his war experiences as an internee was a great success, described by Siegfried Sassoon as “the most powerful…the most impressive” play that he had ever seen. The implicit homosexuality which gave the play its emotional power went unnoticed at the time. ...more...
