Banner
CYLCH
(handmade)
Large protest banner made by members of CYLCH (Cymdeithas Lesbiaid a Hoywon Cymraeg eu Hiaith) - a society for Welsh speaking gay and lesbian people. The slogan translates as “everything must change say gays and lesbians”. At the 1992 Eisteddfod in Aberystwyth CYLCH rented a stall for the first time, and this banner was displayed at their stand. At this Eisteddfod an unknown person broke into CYLCH’s stand, wrecked the stall and defecated on the displays of books and pamphlets.
