Timeline

2007

Bellos was the treasurer of the Africa Reparations Movement (UK). She was co-chair of the Southwark LGBT Network until February 2007 and an adviser to Southwark Council. From 2000 to 2003, she was co-chair of the LGBT Advisory Group to the Metropolitan Police. She remains a community activist.

2006

In 2006, she was awarded an OBE in the Queen's New Year's Honours for services to diversity. She was reticent about receiving the award because she considers its association with a defunct Empire as outdated and the Honour should be renamed. She was encouraged to accept it by her family.

2005

On 21 December 2005, Bellos and her partner, Caroline Jones, entered into a civil partnership in the UK. She currently resides in Norwich, England.

2002

On 9 December 2002, she was presented (together with Stephen Bourne) with the Metropolitan Police Volunteer Awards "in recognition of outstanding contribution in supporting the local community."

1988

In 1985 Bellos was elected as a Labour councillor to Lambeth London Borough Council and was leader of the council between 1986 and 1988. She was the second black woman to become leader of a British local authority, after Merle Amory in the northwest London borough of Brent. Bellos resigned as leader on 21 April 1988 after disputes within the Labour Party over the setting of the Council budget. She was a prominent figure in left-wing politics in London in the 1980s and was labelled by The Sun as a member of the "Loony Left". Bellos attempted to become a parliamentary candidate, without success, most notably for Vauxhall.

1981

Bellos is a radical feminist and was the first non-white lesbian to join the Spare Rib feminist collective in 1981. She criticises the movement's "point scoring" and the manner in which the women's movement was, in her view, dominated by white, middle-class women. She rejects the term "mixed race" because she considers that every attempt to define race is reduced to definitions of skin colour. She uses the term "mixed heritage" instead. Bellos is a person of African and Eastern European Jewish heritage. She uses the inclusive political term of "black" to describe herself.

1980

As a lesbian feminist, Bellos argued strongly in the early 1980s that an inclusive approach to women's issues must take account of social class, minority and majority ethnic identity, disability, sexual identity and religion. This approach was unpopular at the time but has since become accepted as equality law and social attitudes have changed. No longer regarded as "loony left", Bellos now teaches employers and their staff to apply the Equality Act 2010, the Human Rights Act 1998 and other equality law. She notably originated Black History Month in the UK whilst chair of the London Strategic Policy Unit.

1978

Bellos was born in London to a Polish Jewish mother, Renee Sackman, and a black Nigerian father, Emmanuel Adebowale, who came from Uzebba and joined the merchant navy during the Second World War. Raised in Brixton, Bellos was educated at Silverthorne Girls' Secondary Modern School, Dick Sheppard Comprehensive School, and the University of Sussex (1978–81).

1970

In 1970 she married Jonathan Bellos, they had two children, in 1974 and 1976. She came out as a lesbian in 1980, and her marriage ended in divorce in 1983. Linda left her children to live in an all-female commune.

1950

Linda Ann Bellos OBE (born 13 December 1950) is a British businesswoman, radical feminist and gay-rights activist. In 1981 she became the first black woman to join the Spare Rib collective. She was elected to Lambeth Borough Council in London in 1985 and was the leader of the council from 1986 to 1988.
