Social History — 1984
Badge, lapel badge
This badge was produced to commemorate the Pretty Policeman's Ball, an annual fundraising event in aid of the London Gay Switchboard held at the Piccadilly Theatre. The title of the event was a reference to the 'Secret Policeman's Ball' a well known series of comedy shows held in aid of Amnesty International.
The London Gay Switchboard (today known as the London Gay and Lesbian Switchboard) was a 24 hour helpline for the gay community launched in 1974.
