This page will be used to update and share all the events and campaigns organised by the society and related organisations! Social Guidelines:
• Be mindful of your words and how different people might interpret them.
• Don't single people out or make things personal. Treat others as you'd like to be treated.
• Pause before you speak, let the heat of the moment fade away.
• Inside jokes with friends are great, keep them inside and be aware of how they might come across in public.
• Respect everyone's self, viewpoints, morals and beliefs. Uniqueness is wonderful.
• Ask before making any physical contact, flirting is fun but make sure it's welcome. We're just reminding you of what you already know and encouraging you to keep being awesome and keep this society a safe space.
• If you're unsure of someone's pronouns, ask them!

Hello Lovely people!! Unfortunately, our society meet up at college Lane Campus has been cancelled as neither I (Jade) nor Holly can be there to facilitate. We are so sorry about this and hope to get some coffee meets in the works!

Did you know that today is International Non Binary people day? Today's date has been chosen because it falls exactly in the middle between International Women's Day on 8th March and International Men's day on 19th November.

Today, we honor the vibrant and resilient non-binary community, standing together in solidarity and embracing the beautiful diversity of gender expression.

💛🤍🖤💜

In 2016, 49 people were killed and 53 people were injured during a mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida.

This day is to remember those who were victimised, and to reflect upon the trauma brought to the LGBT+ community as a result.

The victims included people aged 18 to 50, and is considered the most violent attack against LGBT+ people in the US, and the 2nd deadliest mass shooting.

We are pleased to confirm that the LGBT+ Society will be attending London Pride 2023!

As a subset of the wider UH delagation at London Pride, the LGBT+ society have a limited number of wristbands to give away. Therefore, to minimise the risk of No Shows we have elected to hold a first-come, first-served ticket portal in order for our members to put their names down. Since we have a very limted number of wristbands we will be utilising a deposit scheme, where even though the wristbands are already funded, we will be charging £3 in return for an LGBT+ Society Exclusive Pride Pack which will be given away to those who come with us to pride.

Tickets to pride will be available at the link in our story. - very limited number, please purchase ASAP to confirm your place.

Q***r as Funghi. Explore your relationship with q***rness through nature with Susy in our foraging and crafts workshop.

Susy runs Q***r As Funghi leading foraging walks and creative workshops for trans, q***r and intersex people. They are interested in how our relationship with nature can be a reciprocal one rather than an extractive one, and how this relationship can support q***r mental health and community care. They work as a grower and an art therapist in Hackney, and run the project Young Rotters which aims to connect young marginalised people to nature through gardening and composting.
