George Montague, affectionately known as ‘The Oldest Gay in the Village’ is one of the top three nominations in the Activism and Awarness category in this years New Year’s Recognitions List organised by TheGAYUK website.
GEORGE 92, who was elected a Brighton Pride Ambassador in 2014, came to prominence after appearing in successive Brighton Pride Parades on his mobility scooter bearing the sign, “The Oldest Gay in the Village.”
He has since appeared on both the London and Manchester Pride Parades and published a book titled “The Oldest Gay in the Village” about his double life growing up with his wife and children while living a secret gay life at night.
He has been nominated along with Human Rights Campaigner, Peter Tatchell and the Gay Star News website.
George said: “I am so proud to have been nominated at all, let alone be in the top three along with the great Peter Tatchell.”
In the last month thousands of people who surf TheGAYUK website have nominated individuals, projects and companies in each of eight categories including; education, sports, health, entertainment, politics, business, activism and awareness and community project of the year.
The results will be announced on January 1.
