In today's society, the lifestyles and ways of living of the LGBTQI+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning, and Intersex) community have been changed progressively. It is no longer a criminal offense to reveal your true identity, to express affection to someone and more importantly, to show the unconditional love to our partners in public. Chronologically, the challenging dogma for conformity and the 'right and appropriate' behaviour in 1960's for gay men were questioned and contested wilfully by the First Gay Rights Liberation Front. Consequently in the late 1970's, the worrying and forbidden gay people who had enough of conforming to the society's social standards were all set expressively free in their true sexual identities.
Generally speaking, the freedom of expression in a form of newspapers created by the intellectual and educated gays in the U.K paved the way for the abolition of indefinite “preventive detention” sentences. These indefinite sentences were very alarming punishments for those considered homosexual and/or have had 'dangerous' sexual engagements. That is why, they had clandestine places to meet up that only allowed exclusive members to have access to for security reasons. Nowadays, establishments of all kinds are open for the price of a ticket. These businesses, intended for the LGBTQI+ community, are now legally recognise by the public sector and also operate as heterogeneous gathering places.
This month of October, The WayOut Club at THE MINORIES on 64–73 Minories, London, EC3N 1JL will hold anew its Alternative Miss London 2017 catwalk contest. It is the 25th year catwalk contest which continuously aims to celebrate and uplift the transgender intelligence, beauty and creativity. The inspirational mother and the woman behind this oldest Trans Club is Miss Vicky Lee, who since in 1993 has been been the greatest pillar in the acknowledgement of “Transpeople” and bringing greater awareness about Transgender people to the wider LGBTQI+ community. As a result of her perseverance over the years, Transgender people can nowadays meet people of similar sensibilities and have fun, too. Historically, way back in 1993 together with Vicky's friend (Steffan Whitfield) the Alternative Miss London catwalk contest was conceptualised, created, organised and has been sustained up to now. HAIL TO YOU, Miss Vicky Lee and to Steffan Whitfield!
On the 14th of October this year from 21:00 until the wee hours of the next morning, you will be mesmerised by the mystery contestants' visionary CREATIVE OUFIT; provocatively foxy SEXY OUTFIT and looking like a million GLAMOROUS OUTFIT on stage. The anticipating question is, who will become the furbelow humble runners-up and euphoric top dog successor of last years' Alternative Miss London, Miss Geri Love? If you would like to be transported back to last year's competition, just click the picture of Miss Geri Love!
The upcoming Alternative Miss London is a Saturday gala with no dress code and upfront admission prices vary according to time. You may visit (click), ALTERNATIVE MISS LONDON 2017, to see if you qualify for a discount fee before 23:00.
Geographically speaking, The WayOut Club at THE MINORIES on 64–73 Minories, London, EC3N 1JL is next to Tower Hill Tube Station and Gateway DLR (Docklands Light Railway). As an alternative, here is a guide map link for more information about tube stations, car parking etc.
If you have great admirations for the Transpeople and would like to join in the friendly crowd, be highly advised that The WayOut Club is NOT A SEX CLUB!
