Clare Dimyon

Clare Bat Dimyon is a British advocate for LGBT rights. As a Quaker, Dimyon has campaigned for peace and human rights since 1984 when she attended Greenham Common to protest against Cruise missiles aimed at the then Soviet Union and the Soviet-occupied countries of central and eastern Europe.

In 2010 she was awarded the Member of the Order of the British Empire for "services to promoting the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in central and eastern Europe".

In 2016, Dimyon spoke of her experience as a survivor of a life-threatening sexual assault in 1984, which occurred at Greenham Common, in support of a 14 year old who was abducted and raped in Oxford.

Dimyon first created a purple banner proclaiming that “everyone knows a Black lesbian, Stormé, started Stonewall.”
