| Description | This file contains annotated typescripts of interviews concerning homophobia and racism within the Greater Manachester Fire Service. The title 'I'd rather be Gay than Black' is taken from statements attributed to a senior officer in a session with new recruits and which led to a court case.
In addition to the events surrounding the court case, discussions of management and trades union attitudes to bullying, homophobia and racism are considered. The papers also refer to a racist assault in 1939. |
