On the 12th day of Pride, I would like to honour Mark Ashton, a gay rights activist. He formed the "Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM)" to collect donations for the miners on strike at the 1984 Lesbian and Gay Pride march in London. This is dramatised in the film Pride.
On the 11th day of Pride, I would like to honour Wilfred Owen, a gay man and one of the leading poets of World War I. "Anthem for Doomed Youth", a poem to the people lost in war, is especially moving. Owen was killed in action on 4 November 1918; a week before the armistice.
