53: Joseph Galliano – Queer Britain: shining light on a hidden history
“Don’t let a fear of failure stop you acting: I’d rather fail than live with the knowledge that I hadn’t tried, for fear.” Joseph Galliano’s mission as the founder of Queer Britain is to complete the nation’s family tree by creating the UK’s first LGBTQ+ museum. Set to be the largest of its kind in the world, the museum will reflect every race, gender, and orientation under the LGBTQ+ umbrella in a bid to preserve histories that have been ignored or destroyed – while offering a shared space for the LGBTQ+ community, families and allies alike to come together and learn more. In this interview he discusses coming out, what it means to be human, the importance of representation and much more.
