A photocopy of the resolution submitted to the Labour Party Conference held 29 September to 4 October 1985 in support of lesbian and rights, that was passed due to the lead in supporting it given by the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM). The NUM support was as a result of the work of Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) during the Miners' strike of 1984-5, portrayed in the feature film "Pride" (2014).
