Black Lesbian and Gay Centre
- ... that the Black Lesbian and Gay Centre supported a boycott of the magazine The Voice in solidarity with gay footballer Justin Fashanu? Source: "supported a boycott of ‘The Voice’ newspaper for condemning Justin Fashanu’s coming out as a disgrace to his family and the Black communities as a whole. ‘The Voice’ eventually agreed to give a full page right of reply to the Black lesbian and gay community" https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/lsehistory/2016/10/31/theblacklesbianandgaycentre/ [source is a blog, but its written by a curator at the London School of Economics, so I think it is a reliable source]
- ALT1: ... that a rainbow plaque marks the site of Peckham's Black Lesbian and Gay Centre? Source: On Sunday (18 February), Studio Voltaire and the London LGBT+ Forums’ Network, in collaboration with Mayor Sadiq Khan, unveiled a new Rainbow Plaque in Peckham to celebrate the impactful history of the Black Lesbian & Gay Centre (BLGC). https://diva-magazine.com/2024/02/20/black-lesbian-gay-centre-rainbow-plaque/

Policy compliance:
- Adequate sourcing:
- Neutral:
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
- Just a little close paraphrasing to clean up: The centre found a permanent home in 1992 in a converted railway arch in Peckham
is a little too similar to the source wording ...in 1992 the BLGC finally found a permanent home in a converted railway arch in Peckham, South London in my opinion.
Hook eligibility:
- Cited: - Very minor wording issue with ALT0 - the source says they "supported" the boycott, the article says they "organised" it, and the hook says they "joined" it. I think all instances should reflect the wording in the source as these three can mean different things.
- Interesting:
| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
A cite for the one cn tag would be good but I won't hold this up just for that. Earwig looks good apart from the close paraphrasing noted above (basically all of the other similarity is a direct quote, which is attributed and cited. QPQ is good as well. I'm cool with either hook, both interesting IMO and sourcing checks out apart from a small wording question. (Just a note, I have named the reference used for ALT1 so the reference itself isn't duplicated). After the two issues above are resolved we should be good for a tick!
