HI Everyone


So it has been a busy old week in Reading University LGBT! We are currently looking for a new LGBT officer, I will be stepping down from my position in the Summer Term and need someone to take over the role. The other day we were lucky enough to have a visit from Alan Bailey one of the co-presidents of NUS LGBT and he gave some much needed advice to hopeful candidates. He is also working with us at the moment to see whether we can provide some diversity and equality training to members of University Staff, which is very exciting.

If anyone is interested in going forward for the role of LGBT officer then you need to apply ASAP as it all closes on Monday 31st of Jan. You can not apply if your a final year and you need to define as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Trans. Here is the link with all the info:

Trust me it is a brilliant and worthwhile role!

Hi Everyone!


Welcome to the Reading University LGBT Blog and my first ever post! Through this blog we hope to keep you all update with the happenings of Reading University LGBT and the happenings of the committee.

Can I just say the blog is also a brilliant way to keep up to dates with the events we are putting on, if you scroll to the bottom of this page there is a google calender that has all the information you will ever need.

One of the main things I have been working on over the holidays is LGBT History Month. Every February events happen throughout the country celebrating the diverse history of the LGBT community and this year we are putting on a series of exciting events! These include a public debate that relates to everyone, Should Gay Marriage Be Legal? This is a question that divides opinion within the gay, religious and heterosexual community. On the 16th of February you can have your say, this event will be run in a 'Question Time' format and there will be multiple opportunities for you to put forward your point of view.

Finally the last thing to say is get involved and follow this blog!

Thanks

Ken - LGBT President and RUSU LGBT Student Officer
