Antony Grey
1927 - 2010Antony Grey (born Anthony Edgar Gartside Wright) was a LGBTQ+ rights activist, lobbyist, writer, media campaigner and counsellor. His committed work led directly to the 1967 Sexual Offences Act, which decriminalised homosexuality for men over 21 in private, and was a very important milestone in equality. He worked for the Albany Trust to provide support for those suffering from intolerance, as well as Secretary of the Homosexual Law Reform society for 20 years.

Antony Grey is seen by many as the most important British gay rights campaigner of the 20th century. He lived in Broadhurst Gardens, South Hampstead from the 1960s.
