PAUL Patrick, who has died of a lung condition aged 57, was a big-hearted maverick and one of the UK's leading activists in lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender issues (LGBT). Although much of his work was based in England - born in South Shields, he worked as a teacher for a long time in south-east London before returning to his northern roots and Burnley in 1997 - he made a lasting impact in Scotland when he founded LGBT History Month with longtime friend and colleague Sue Sanders in 2004.
