Fair use rationale for Image:THT-logo.gif

Image:THT-logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

• there is a bibliography here, may be more general about the history of HIV/AIDS in the UK:

• Google Books search turns up many results, including
  • Routledge book, AIDS: A Guide to the Law, edited by Richard Haigh and Dai Harris for the Terrence Higgins Trust
  • Out (magazine) Sept 1999 called "the Terrence Higgins Trust, the leading AIDS education foundation"
  • Who's Who in Contemporary Gay and Lesbian History edited by Robert Aldrich, pages 187-188, entry Terrence Higgins by Mark Edwards

Which itself references:

• • S. Watney, Practices of Freedom: Selected Writings on HIV/AIDS (London, 1994)
  • S. Garfield, The End of Innocence: Britain in the Time of AIDS (London, 1995)
  • V. Berridge, AIDS in the UK (Oxford 1996)

Origin of Terrence Higgins Trust

I was involved at the very beginning. There were a great team of helpers, some of whom were themselves suffering from HIV or AIDS, and many unfortunately died. Tony Whitehead was initially involved the Trusts formation. I am appalled to learn that a paid clerk, taken on later by the Trust, having no involvement in 'Buddying' - providing home help to the sick and dying - or in the Counselling team, should since have received a high award. I do hope that Tony Whitehead is surviving and well and healthy, and send him my best wishes, wherever he may be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.51.114.115 (talk) 15:26, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

London Lighthouse (former AIDS hospice and centre)

There is no dedicated Article on Wikipedia to this institution which played such an important role in the gay community in the 1980s and 1990s. The only references to London Lighthouse on other sites (there are only a few) say that it was merged into the Terrence Higgins Trust, but there is nothing in the THT page about it. Is there someone out there who was well acquainted with the London Lighthouse who could add a properly referenced section to the THT page? If there is enough on it then it could eventually be spun out into a separate Article, it was so important at the time.

I have come across this omission because I have recently added a paragraph to the Article on Dame Cicely Saunders. Incredible as it may now seem, although she did admirable work for the hospice movement (probably more than anyone else), for a number of years she did not think that St Christopher's Hospice and similar hospices were appropriate places for persons with AIDS, because they might upset children who were visiting other patients. (This had rather been "airbrushed out" of the article, I fear, but it is fully backed up by the citations). Hence the real and pressing need for places like the London Lighthouse, and, to be fair, the Mildmay Mission Ntmr (talk) 18:40, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
