Now on bbc news an lgbt special for witness, which this week comes from new york. Cheering and applause. Lawyers and activists had challenged the anti homosexuality act on the grounds that it violated human rights. Hello and welcome to my children know me as daddy witness history with me, and they call me daddy. Ben hunte. Were in new york with a special they dont say hey, trans daddy. Hey, former lesbian trans daddy. Edition to mark lgbt pride. You know, they call me daddy. Today weve got some extraordinary moments from the past coming up it shouldnt matter. But it matters now that i identify told to us by the people who were there. As a transgender man in this programme, well hear about the struggle for lgbt rights because that is the beginning of a conversation about in uganda, look back at the lesbian what transgender is. Activists who invaded a bbc news studio in the uk. Not for me, because i have survived, but there are people well hear from the who are still struggling to come out danish couple who made or to even ask for what they need. History having the worlds first so then it matters. Same sex civil union. Victor mukasa there on the fight and well speak to the former against discrimination in uganda. Next, on 23 may 1988, partner of Terrence Higgins, a group of lesbians invaded a live bbc news studio in london. They were protesting new laws who helped form the hugely limiting lgbt rights in the uk. Influential hiv and aids trust. Booan temple was one but first, a story that began right here in new york. In 1969, the Stonewall Inn was one of the women there. Of very few gay bars in the city. A police raid onjune 28th of that year sparked several voiceover the six oclock news nights of protesting. It was the moment that the lgbt from the bbc, with sue lawley community here said enough is enough and nicholas witchell. And the modern gay rights its six oclock. Shouting in studio. Movement was born. Stop section 28 in the house of lords, a vote is taking place now on a challenge to the poll tax. The act of homosexuality was illegal, when i grew up, tory rebels have in 49 of the 50 states. Said that the tax. The police were my enemy. Were protesting about rights for lesbian and gay people. And they were a real danger to me. In general, britain was quite a hostile environment in the 19805 for the lgbt community. About 75 of people, when surveyed, said that it was mostly or always wrong to be gay. Simply by walking down the street, here was a chance for me to finally if somebody identified you as lesbian or gay, express my feelings about what had been done to me as a young gay kid you could get abuse and you could be violently attacked, just for being. Growing up in an anti gay society. And i wasnt alone. I obviously dont want children people wanted to show their anger taught that the gay and lesbian and resentment at the Police Lifestyle is natural or normal. For all their years it is not, it never has been, of brutality and intolerance. They liked to get theirjollies beating us as they would find us and it never will be. In cruising areas, in the dark movie houses, outside on the street, yes, my overriding concern is with the promotion of positive in a bar, in a park, orwherever. Images of homosexuality in schools, from Primary School right through, so these two little blocks and that is what is causing many parents real concern and offence. On christopher street, there was this sort of catalyst moment where a book was published, which was in greenwich village, called jenny lives with eric and martin, about a girl who lives was our one little refuge we found, with her two dads. And it sort of kicked off a moral panic in parliament. Which was at night time what we were told we were doing was destroying the heterosexual family, so that lobby group when nobody else cared. To get this clause enacted. Section 28 banned legal authorities we found places that we could sit, from promoting homosexuality, the second part of it banned the teaching that we could talk, and it may not of homosexuality in schools. Have been a great place, you know, for most people, but it was our place. The Stonewall Bar was one of the gay bars. The first night of the rebellion basically, it meant the closing down i was hanging outjust a block away. Services, so young people became they heard the sirens, very vulnerable, particularly, the police cars, the police and schools couldnt protect people were raiding the Stonewall Bar. From being bullied. All kinds of groups, my reaction was to all over the country run towards the bar. Began to protest. Because thats where the excitement was. Thats what was happening. I was 20 years old. And in that crowd were, you know, obviously drag queens and people who were effeminate males. And then these guys who look like, actor ian mckellen was at the head quote, regular guys like me. Of a procession which stretched and we were all together nearly two miles. And the anger was towards them, the police. A group of lesbians chained themselves to Buckingham Palace people started yelling at them gates dressed as suffragettes. And then people started tossing coins and stuff started coming a group of lesbians abseiled flying from different directions. Into the house of lords. Through all of the campaigning prior then the police then to the announcement, went inside for shelter. We could not get the media this parking meter was partially out to understand what the impact of the ground that apparently a car was going to be on our or a truck had hit. Community, on our children. And ijoined three other people, we lifted up the parking meter so, really, the only thing left and we used it as a battering ram on the doors of the stonewall, was to actually be the news cause we wanted to get to the cops. By being on the news. We met outside Television Centre. We managed to get through the security. The whole thing was timing really. And as soon as the lights changed, we barged into the studio. The whole place went mad, i wanted to kill the cops. I got smacked to the ground thats how i felt. By i dont know how many people. We would have really hurt those cops if they had not brought more police in. And it went on for several nights. One of our number managed to handcuff herself to a camera, the police were absolutely shocked. They had never before and the other got behind the news seen gay people in such desk, where she was quite violently resistance, you know. We found our strength subdued by nicholas witchell, in ourselves and each other. Whos since apologised. On the anniversary of the stonewall sue lawley carried rebellion we wanted to commemorate it. We decided on doing a march. On trying to read the news. And i do apologise if you are hearing quite a lot of noise in the studio at the moment. It wasnt a march to just protest, i am afraid that we have it was a march to celebrate rather been invaded. Who we are, to be proud and excited in the footage its and happy to be gay. All got rather muffled. We made it to central park. And you can hear little muffled we were very thrilled shouts of, stop the section 28 with ourselves and our numbers. And eventually we were all arrested. And it showed that we could do more. It did get huge media coverage. And every year more and more people come to march in their first open you know, the headlines pride march in the light, in public. Were all about loony lesbians, its very empowering for every one of us. But over time, and beyond that, and its still very emotionalfor me. We started a tradition. I have heard from quite a lot a tradition of respect, of pride, of joy, of community. 00 08 07,197 2147483051 40 48,313 john obrien is still actively 2147483051 40 48,313 4294966103 13 29,430 campaigning for lgbt human rights. Of people what it meant to them as young lgbt people in their own home, knowing that they were gay but maybe not out, and just felt a little bit empowered by it. So, here we are again at Television Centre again, 30 years later. Clearly, things are a lot better than they were in the 19805 but it hasnt completely changed and there are very dangerous and serious pockets of homophobia. We need to be in solidarity with all the communities worldwide who are in daily fear of their lives. Im glad we did it. The fact were here today means the story has been remembered. You can watch witness history every month on bbc news channel, or you can catch up with our films online and over 1,000 radio programmes, too. Just search bbc witness history. In denmark in 1989, ivan larsen and ove carlsen made history when they became one of the first in the world to be joined in a same sex union. They told us all about it. It was a very special day for us. It was a marvellous day. We had been fighting for the partnership for many years. We had a right wing government in denmark and this government was against it. Id been a vicar for many years. I think it was difficult to many people and they were confronted what do you think about having a vicar thats gay . Very many people combined homosexuality with dirt. Coming out for me was very difficult. I came from a village, a family, where homosexuality was not discussed. I got married and got children. It was only my wife who knew that i was interested in other guys. She said you have to live the life which is yours. When i met ove, i knew that this was the man for me. Denmark is usually thought of as a liberal and tolerant country and this summer, they have taken that tolerance a degree further. In may, they passed a law allowing homosexuals to enter into registered partnerships partnerships they think of as marriage. Quietly, at the centre of all the excitement, these men are making history. I thought the other day when i went to the town hall to get papers to partnership, i was so happy. For the first time, i feel this i could allow myself to have the same feeling as everyone else who are going to be married. I was so happy. The Partnership Law was very much like a normal law for man and woman, only one of the two had to be a danish citizen. You were not allowed to adopt. You were not allowed to have your partnership registered in a church. That was the three things that departed from normal marriage, otherwise, it was just like marriage. We thought, the both of us, at last, that the day had come to us. The sun was shining and we were driven in horse carriages through copenhagen. It was a nice trip to remember. There were 11 gay couples that day at city hall and we were couple number two. They speak danish. Camera shutters click. It was a very strange day. There was so many journalists and photographs. It was, in a way, difficult to be there yourself. Well, whether you are married before a mayor at a city hall or a vicar in a church, it is the same marriage to god. I have always talked about ivan as my husband and i think it is strange to call him my partner. Denmark has had this Partnership Law for 25 years. It has been normal. In fact, i sometimes think it has been so long that it isnt worth discussing. Ivan and ove there one of the first couples in the world to enter into a civil partnership. We are now heading back to london for a story on one of the darkest periods of lgbt history. In 1982, a man called Terrence Higgins died from hiv aids one of the first people in the uk to be killed by the disease. It led his partner to set up the Terrence Higgins trust that went on to become one of europes hiv and Sexual Health charities. When i met terry, i was 18 and terry was 35 at the time. And i had never had a boyfriend and not been particularly comfortable on the gay scene at all, in the Gay Community at all. Terry was just a very nice guy, a very warm guy to me. He always used to cook for me because i was no good at cooking myself, and he used to make sure i ate. He was also very handsome, i thought, and very attractive. In 1982, he started to get less energetic and he was always complaining about headaches. But i was away at one point and i came back and heard that terry and found out that terry had collapsed in a nightclub and been taken into hospital, and he was very sick. We were starting to hear about this american disease, and what was being called gay related immune deficiency at that time. In new york, this is greenwich village. Here, the killer disease has taken its greatest toll of death and of fear amongst those who walk in its shadow. We still had no idea what it was. Was it a lifestyle thing . Was some kind of infection . What was it . But until terry got ill, we had not heard of any cases in britain. The last time i went, i was going to take some lucozade and some ice lollies for him. I went up to the ward and there were curtains around terrys bed at the time and i was standing just a few feet away and i could see there was quite some activity inside. I just stood there. Then, the one of the nurses and one of the physicians came round and said that they were sorry to tell me that terry had just died. They had been trying to resuscitate him as i had been standing at the end of the bed, well, just a few feet away from the end of the bed. And it was. Yeah, that was very hard. It was a very hard thing to see, and hear. The funeral of Terry Higgins took place here at Golders Green crematorium in north london. The cause of death was toxoplasmosis a brain infection that most people can tame, but which in his case proved fatal. After terry died, there was a virus discovered and then tests developed. It became known as hiv. There were deaths upon deaths. I lost in one my diaries, in the back of it, i have names. I stopped counting at 35 names. And those were people that i knew closely enough to call friends. We realise that something needed to be done, and so we set up an organisation, a charity, to do some advocacy around this and safe sex information and messages. We wanted to name it after terry because of what he meant to us. The Terrence Higgins trust was europes first hiv or aids charity and i am really, really pleased that it still has his name. Rupert whitaker went on to become a leading immunologist. And that is all for that special lgbt edition of witness history. We will be back next month with more first hand accounts of extraordinary moments from around the globe. For now, from me here at Stonewall Inn in new york, and the rest of the team, its goodbye. Hello there. For some parts of the uk, the next couple of days will bring blue skies, sunshine and warmth. But in other places, it will look and feel very different. This is how it looked in the far north of scotland on wednesday. On the satellite picture, you can see the way in which this cloud has been approaching, pushing in from the north west, and as this cloud makes a bit more progress, we will see some outbreaks of rain. So, as we head through thursday, rain initially across the northern and the Western Isles will increasingly spread across the northern half of mainland scotland. The heaviest rain always across hills in the west. To the east of high ground, the rain very showery, very patchy in nature. More cloud filtering into northern england, Northern Ireland through the day, but the further south you are, were going to see quite a lot of sunshine and some real warmth. 2a degrees for birmingham, 26 degrees in london, so thats the sort of temperature we could well attain at wimbledon during thursday afternoon. Certainly sunny skies overhead, very light winds as well. The day ends on a sunny note across the southern half of the uk. But further north, we have our cloud, we have our outbreaks of patchy rain, sinking a little further southwards, and then a new push of slightly heavier, more persistent rain gets into the far north west of scotland by the end of the night. Quite a mild night, as well lows of 11 15 degrees. So, as we go into friday, High Pressure still trying to hold on across the south. Some fine weather here, but these frontal systems will continue to bring some outbreaks of rain across the north of the uk. Certainly a lot of cloud into Northern Ireland, north west england and scotland, some rain once again pushing down across the northern half of scotland through the day. Ahead of that, in the sunshine, some real warmth 00 19 37,511 4294966103 13 29,430 26, maybe 27 degrees
