==LGBT connections==

The Queen's reign has seem many important advances for LGBT people. However as a constitutional monarch, she does not normally express an opinion on political issues. She has seldom spoken about LGBT issues, and is not a patron of any LGBT charities. However in 2014 she sent a message of congratulations to the [[London Lesbian & Gay Switchboard]] on its 40th anniversary.<ref>http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2014/03/07/queen-praises-gay-rights-charitys-special-anniversary/ Scott Roberts,

'''Alison Hennegan''' is a lecturer at the [[University of Cambridge]] and a Fellow<ref>http://www.diverse.cam.ac.uk/stories/hennegan/ Cambridge & Diversity: "Alison Hennegan: speaking out"</ref> of [[Trinity Hall, Cambridge|Trinity Hall]]. She is also a prominent campaigner for gay and lesbian rights in the UK and a journalist. <ref>Teich, M. Porter, R. Fin de Siecle and Its Legacy (Cambridge: CUP, 1990) p. x</ref>

Hennegan's academic work focuses on [[lesbian]] and [[gay]] themes in English literature, particularly in British Modernism. She began writing her PhD thesis, “Literature and the Homosexual Cult, 1890–1920” in Cambridge in 1970, but her heavy involvement in gay activism forced her to put her research on hold. She returned to the academy in the 1980s and has published articles on the [[lesbian]] reader, [[Oscar Wilde]] and the Symbolist and decadent movements of the late nineetenth and early twentieth centuries. Other academic publications include scholarly introductions to the Virago Modern Classics editions of ''Adam’s Breed'' and ''[[The Well of Loneliness]]'' by [[Radclyffe Hall]].

Her work in literary journalism has included a period as Literary Editor of ''[[Gay News]]'' (1977–83), and regular articles in the ''New Statesman'' (1984–88). She has also been a prominent gay rights activist in the UK: she served as a Vice-Chair of the [[Campaign for Homosexual Equality]] (1975–77) and National Organizer for the gay counselling organization [[FRIEND]]. <ref>http://www.knittingcircle.org.uk/staffroom.html Brief biography of Hennegan at the Knitting Circle, a lesbian and gay resource website</ref>

[[File:Krays.jpg|thumb|Reggie (left) and Ronnie Kray]]'''Ronnie Kray'' (Ronald Kray, 1933–1995) was a gangster. Ronnie and his identical twin brother Reggie were amongst tre leaders of organised crime in the [[East End]] in the 1950s and 1960s. Ronnie admittedn to being bisexual.

The twins were born in [[Hoxton]] and the family moved to [[Bethnal Green]] in 1938. They both took up boxing. On being called up for National Service, they immediately went absent without leave, and were held briefly in the [[Tower of London]]. They were convicted and sent to a military prison.

On discharge from the army they both took up crime full-time, but also became fashionable nightclub ownere, and mixed with celebrities in the 'swinging sixties' era.

In 1964, the Sunday Mirror reported that Scotland Yard was investigating a homosexual relationship between an unnamed peer (actually the Conservative peer [[Robert Boothby]]) and a major underworld figure (Ronnie Kray). Boothby wrote to ''The Times'' denying being gay, and said that he had only met Ronnie three times, and the Sunday Mirror was forced to pay him £40,000 to avoid a libel suit. However letters came to light in 2009 showing that there had indeed been a friendship between Ronnie an Boothby dating back at least to 1963.<ref>http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/5907125/Letters-shed-new-light-on-Kray-twins-scandal.html David Barrett, "Letters shed new light on Kray twins scandal", Daily Telegraph, 26 July 2009</ref>

It was also rumoured that the Labour MP [[Tome Driberg]] had had a relationship with Ronnie,<ref>''Lords of The Underground'' (Channel 4 TV, 23 June 1997)</ref><ref>"Lords of the Underground", ''The Spectator'', 28 June 1997}}</ref>

In 1966, Ronnie Kray shot and killed George Cornell, an associated of the rival Richardsons gang, in the Blind Beggar pub in [[Whitechapel]]; in 1967, Reggie Kray fatally stabbed a minor member of the Kray gang, Jack "the Hat" McVitie. In 1968 the brothers were both convicted of the murders, and sentenced to life imprisonment, with a minimum term of 30 years.

In 1979 Ronnie was certified insane, and transferred to [[Broadmoor Hospital]]. He died aged 1995 of a heart attack.

Porter, R. Fin de Siecle and Its Legacy (Cambridge: CUP, 1990) p. x</ref>
 Hennegan's academic work focuses on [[lesbian]] and [[gay]] themes in English literature, particularly in British Modernism. She began writing her PhD thesis, “Literature and the Homosexual Cult, 1890–1920” in Cambridge in 1970, but her heavy involvement in gay activism forced her to put her research on hold.  She returned to the academy in the 1980s and has published articles on the [[lesbian]] reader, [[Oscar Wilde]] and the Symbolist and decadent movements of the late nineetenth and early twentieth centuries. Other academic publications include scholarly introductions to the Virago Modern Classics editions of ''Adam’s Breed'' and ''[[The Well of Loneliness]]'' by [[Radclyffe Hall]].

 In 1964, the Sunday Mirror reported that Scotland Yard was investigating a homosexual relationship between an unnamed peer (actually the Conservative peer [[Robert Boothby]]) and a major underworld figure (Ronnie Kray).  Boothby wrote to ''The Times'' denying being gay, and said that he had only met Ronnie three times, and the Sunday Mirror was forced to pay him £40,000 to avoid a libel suit. However letters came to light in 2009 showing that there had indeed been a friendship between Ronnie an Boothby dating back at least to 1963.<ref>http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/5907125/Letters-shed-new-light-on-Kray-twins-scandal.html David Barrett, "Letters shed new light on Kray twins scandal", Daily Telegraph, 26 July 2009</ref>

 In 1966, Ronnie Kray shot and killed George Cornell, an associated of the rival Richardsons gang, in the Blind Beggar pub in [[Whitechapel]]; in 1967, Reggie Kray fatally stabbed a minor member of the Kray gang, Jack "the Hat" McVitie. In 1968 the brothers were both convicted of the murders, and sentenced to life imprisonment, with a minimum term of 30 years.
