RESIDENTS BY MING DE NASTY

ALYSE

I’ve lived in this city my entire life, from Bootle to Dovecott, from Allerton to the city centre. I’m near 40 now and I’ve seen changes in attitudes towards the LGBT community for both better and worse, but I am proud to call Liverpool my home. 

The sense of community here has always been strong, and I’m often surprised by how accepting people can be in spite of pressure to ostracise and demonise minorities. We continue to push back and find joy in every facet of humanity. We exist, we will always exist.
