Daren Kay, Community Curator: Before the internet, bookshops provided spaces where LGBTIQ+ people could meet and find out about people like themselves. One such queer friendly space was Unicorn Bookshop at 51 Gloucester Road, Brighton that was open from 1966 to 1973. It was owned by openly gay poet and writer, Bill Butler (1937-1977). A poet in his own right, Butler often published homoerotic poems in the shop’s publications such as this one, which is probably about ‘cottaging’– the practise of men looking for sex with other men in public toilets.
John Upton, who designed the cover of this issue of the 'Brighton Head and Freak' magazine, also painted the original mural on the outside of the Unicorn Bookshop.
