Bob Orr (bookseller)
Robert W. Orr (born March 1950) is a bookseller based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Orr is best known as the co-founder of the Lavender Menace Bookshop, alongside Sigrid Nielsen. Early ventures In the 1970s, Orr worked at the ''First of May'', a now-defunct radical bookstore on Candlemaker Row, Edinburgh, which specialised in LGBT+ literature. In 1976, Orr invited Nielsen to join the Open Gaze bookstall, a gay and feminist books collective that he had begun as part of the Scottish Homosexual Rights Group’s (SHRG) Gay Information Centre on Broughton Street, Edinburgh. The Open Gaze was successful, but its radical catalogue faced a great deal of backlash, even from within the SHRG. In 1979, the collective was accused of either socialist leanings, or "selling a blasphemous greeting card", or both. Orr's correspondence, publications, and papers (1974–1994), which explores these events and more, are archived in the manuscripts collection of the National Library of Scotland. Lavender ...
