Just four days after the introduction of Section 28, campaigners in Edinburgh organised an event to make their voices heard.
Held in Princes Street Gardens, Lark in the Park was hosted by the Scottish Homosexual Action Group - and was an afternoon of music, comedy, artistic performances and speeches. At the time, it was the largest organised gay rights event to take place in Scotland.
The organisation, along with other activists, persuaded what was then Edinburgh District Council to allow them to stage the event in the city centre. It was seven years later that Edinburgh saw the first official Pride march make its way through our streets, and 12 years until the Scottish Parliament repealed Section 28 in the north.
