Description:
In June 1960, several British newspapers received a letter so shocking some thought it was a hoax. Beginning 'Sir, we are homosexuals . . ', it was signed by Roger Butler and two others.

Publishing such a letter seven years prior to the decriminalisation of homosexuality was a radical and dangerous move. But it was a risk that marked a huge milestone in the fight for gay rights. By the 1970s, the Gay Liberation Front was calling on people to come out to help reduce stigma, and it continued to be a core tactic in the 80s and 90s. Roger, however, had done this a full decade earlier. This is the story about of first man to voluntarily come out in his own words, using his own name, to the entire British public.

Taking us through a criminalised underworld of pubs, parties and campaign gatherings, The Light of Day charts how Roger helped bring about a change in the law, legalising sex between men, but soon found himself marginalised from the movement he kickstarted after becoming completely blind in his early 30s. Worn down trying to navigate life afresh in London, he left for Oxford, where he became increasingly isolated and never found the life partner he so desperately wanted.

Enter Christopher - an Oxford University student asked by a friend to visit and read to an old, blind man.

Instead he wrote about it secretly, leaving his account to Christopher after his death, along with a sealed pink folder. It was in that folder that the Roger revealed his final wish, for Christopher t

Good for the price but will not repurchase
Size: 9, Color: Grey
My husband loved these at first. Pros -easy to get on/off -stylish -comfortable -interior/exterior sole construction lasted longer than other more expensive shoes -price is great Cons -after less than a year the mouth of the shoe widened to a point where they slide off way too easy rendering them almost unwearable. -laces cannot be tightened

Great watch - looks good and keeps good time
I love this thing. Good for a big wrist. Lume holds well and the blue lume looks awesome with the white/blue theme. Holds writhing a couple seconds (2-5) per day, which is pretty excellent at this price point. Would recommend.

Excelente reloj. Lujosa presentacio
El reloj es de excelente calidad y una apariencia deportiva, pero sobria. Luce muy bien y su construcción es muy fuerte. La caratula blanca es delicada y las marcas de hora azules cambian a un celeste brillante, según la incidencia de la luz. El mecanismo es muy preciso. Lo compre de hace un mes y he estado verificando la hora con un reloj de referencia en linea y no ha tenido variación. Lo mantengo en una caja enrrolladora automática.
