The relationship between commerce and homosexuality has an interesting history. We talk to to Dr Justin Bengry, Lecturer in History, and Course Convener of the MA in Queer History at Goldsmiths, University of London, about his studies and his latest book about the Pink Pound. Our conversation with Justin led us to want to reach out to members of the community and ask them what they thought about capitalisms place in the community. Exploitation or appropriation, or an expression by a marginalised community of increased financial power? We discuss this question and many others with a variety of people from within the LGBTQIA+ community.
