City Sa Lgbtq + Society

Hey Everybody, Unfortunately due to adverse weather conditions we are going to be postponing the relaunch of our LGBTQ+ Society this evening. We will be looking in to the possibility of reorganising for some time within the next two weeks so keep an eye out for any updates.

Don't forget that tomorrow is Purple Friday!
This year’s theme focuses on the #EverydayHero the person whose small gestures promote an inclusive atmosphere for LGBTI people. It’s about the little things like avoiding assumptions about people’s partners, breaking down unnecessarily gendered language, making people feel included.... We want to spread awareness that anyone can be an #EverydayHero and the small, maybe even mundane, day-to-day gestures are equally, if not more, important than the grand gestures.
LGBT Youth Scotland will be launching a video campaign highlighting four everyday heroes, all people who make the lives of their LGBTI friends, colleagues and customers better in small day-to-day ways. They will be asking people to share their campaign tagging someone that they think is an #EverydayHero.
This will be focused on Facebook where people will also get the opportunity to make a donation to LGBT Youth Scotland.

Folks, see a message from the Students’ Association.
I am the new project worker for the Students’ Association and I am responsible for supporting social and activities. I am currently looking to invite you back along to LGBT on Wednesday 19th March at 4.30pm in the Students; Association common room to have a catch up on how you are all getting on. We are looking to recruit more students to the society and we have a few exciting ideas about campaigns including:
• Equal rights... for gay people donating blood • Commonwealth games and laws surrounding 85% of the countries participating
We would be delighted to see you come along, I am going to buy in some Dominos pizzas, soft drinks and a few other little things. If you could let me know if you could make it along so I can get an idea of numbers I would be grateful.
Best regards
Mark McCafferty
