Description

Paul Burston's memoir is a brutally honest account of his journey from prejudice to Pride. Coming out in the mid-1980s, when being 'gay' was still seen as taboo, Paul faced unimaginable challenges in his small Welsh town and later in London. As an activist, journalist, and novelist, Paul fought tirelessly for LGBTQ+ rights, speaking out against homophobia and inequality. However, his personal demons - shame, trauma, and grief - threatened to overwhelm him. This memoir chronicles the 20 years between these two periods of his life, a time marked by struggles with addiction and near-fatal experiences. We Can Be Heroes is an emotional yet witty account of Paul's journey towards healing and self-discovery, offering a unique perspective on the LGBTQ+ community in the UK during the 1980s to 2000s.
