摘要

《骄傲》于2014年发行，这意味着什么?在同性恋矿工支持组织(LGSM)成立30年后，保守党政府也在同年使同性婚姻在英国合法化。在这篇文章中，我探讨了LGSM的故事叙事，以考虑怀旧是如何在电影中运作的。主要是，我考虑了编剧斯蒂芬·贝雷斯福德(Stephen Beresford)在重构LGSM故事时所做的选择，并研究了这些选择揭示了过去30年来英国同性恋政治格局发生的变化。通过对这些选择的分析，我认为《骄傲》为当代观众提供了一个他们可以享受和庆祝的激进LGBTQ行动主义的故事，同时回避了关于身份政治、单一议题政治和集体主义政治消亡的令人不安的问题。

‘No politics … We’re a Mardi Gras now’: Telling the story of LGSM in 21st-Century Britain

What does it mean that Pride was released in 2014, 30 years after the formation of Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) and the same year in which a Conservative government made same-sex marriage a legal reality in the UK? In this article, I explore the narrativising of LGSM’s story, in order to consider how nostalgia operates in the film. Chiefly, I consider the choices that the screenwriter, Stephen Beresford, made in reconstructing the story of LGSM, and examine what these choices reveal about the changes that have taken place in the political landscape of gay Britain over the last 30 years. Through an analysis of these choices, I argue that Pride offers contemporary audiences a story of radical LGBTQ activism that they can enjoy and celebrate, while side-stepping uncomfortable questions regarding identity politics, single issue politics and the demise of collectivist politics.
