Vicky Lee: ‘We want to be free to get on with our lives, to be creative, to fly’

Icon: Vicky Lee

Thirty years in any gig a fair stretch by most counts, but for WayOut club night co-founder and host Vicky Lee being honoured for three decades of work still came as something of “a surprise — I really wasn’t expecting it. When you do something for 30 years it becomes part of you, and you don’t see it as anything special.”

But special Lee is. Last night, her trailblazing life — dedicated in large part to the WayOut trans-inclusive club nights started at a time when the “T” wasn’t yet part of the LGBT movement (and decades ahead of LGBTQIA+) — was recognised at the inaugural Cîroc Iconic Ball in Koko, held to mark 50 years of the Pride in London movement.
