Lisa Power

Lisa Power MBE (born 1954 or 1955) is a British sexual health and LGBT rights campaigner.

She co-founded Stonewall and subsequently was the policy director of the Terrence Higgins Trust.[1] Before this, she was Secretary-General of the International Lesbian and Gay Association, co-founded the Pink Paper and wrote an oral history of the London Gay Liberation Front, No Bath But Plenty of Bubbles: An Oral History of the Gay Liberation Front, 1970–1973, now long out of print. She is also the Organiser for Pride History Month at Pride Cymru.[2]

The first openly LGBT person to speak on gay rights at the United Nations in New York,[3] Power was named on the 2017 Pinc List of leading Welsh LGBT figures. [4]

In 2020, she collaborated with National Museum Cardiff and curator Dan Vo on a program called "Queer Tours,"[2][5] where art pieces that are not explicitly LGBT-related are looked at through that lens.
