When miners and gay activists united: the real story of the film Pride
In an era of raging homophobia and strident union-bashing, two minority groups made common cause in a Welsh mining community.

Brilliant. Anything that brings together groups that have been bamboozled into a debilitating and atomizing identity politics masquerading as left politics and, instead, reminds them that we are all brothers and sisters with a common cause is a good thing.
