To mark Pride Month, the U.S. Presidential Scholars Foundation (PSF) published today in The Medallion, their monthly newsletter, excerpts from - and a link to - an essay I’ve written, 50+ Years a Gay Man: A Personal Life in a Historical Context. https://mailchi.mp/presidentialscholars/june2022.

We are so pleased today to have submitted Trent’s application to register as a BOTC and British citizen following recent changes to the law.

Well done to the @BOTCCAMPAIGN for their work in highlighting the historic injustice for children of BOTC parents!

Home Office @ukhomeoffice

We've launched new routes to nationality for those affected by historical anomalies, including for British Overseas Territories citizens.

This will help people like Trent, who is now able to apply for both British overseas territories citizenship & British citizenship.
