Pride is based on actual people and events in 1984/85 and although not totally factual the basic story is true, moving, and inspiring. A small group of gay men and lesbians, led by one young man's inspired recognition his oppression as a homosexual was like oppression of coal miners striking as Margaret Thatcher destroyed the last vestiges of organized Labour, start Lesbians and Gays Supporting the Miners (LGSM). They have a hard time getting any official union lodges to respond to them so just pick one town in Wales on the map and contact the lodge office where, due to a slight miscommunication, the nature of their group is unknown until a representative comes to London to get what they've collected. The union rep is obviously surprised and puzzled when they meet but appreciates their efforts.
