I do hope it's OK and gets the opportunity to fly back to wherever it wanted to be. It was *VERY* windy, perhaps it's surprising that it doesn't happen more often.

Check out the LGBTQ+ History guide, which includes resources on LGBTQ+ people and their lives across a wide range of historical periods. The content was crowdsourced by students and researchers in Oxford.

A queer history of Buckinghamshire please. This might be a bit of a challenge; I was born and raised in Aylesbury (1970s and 80s) and it was awfully bleak gay-wise. But maybe there are some records that show I wasn't the only one? 🤔🏳️‍🌈📜
