| Abstract: | Trade union engagement with he continuing inequalities facing minority groups has been one of the guiding principles of attempts to re-energize the labour movement in recent years. The paper focuses on attempts by six British trade unions to create and maintain separate organizational 'spaces' for their lesbian and gay members. It also considers issues of intra-group diversity and 'safe space' for this particular group. It concludes that the recognition and actualization of the internally diverse lesbian and gay constituency will be important in the long term for trade unions seeking to renew their pool of potential activists. |
