Background
History
Cordelia Ditton, the co-director of Gay Sweatshop, founded Glasgay! in response to the Section 28 legislation in 1988, which banned the promotion of homosexuality as an acceptable lifestyle. Ditton partnered with Glasgow-based freelance arts administrator Dominic D'Angelo in 1991. The backlash led to the festival not operating in 1994, and again in 1996. The operating company, GALA Scotland Ltd, was established in late 1995, after Ditton stepped down. The new board of directors was led by D'Angelo. From 2007 to 2014 it enjoyed regular three-year funding agreements from the Scottish Arts Council and Creative Scotland. However, in 2015 this funding agreement was not renewed.
