The three
Lesbian, Gay and Bi groups in Norwich have four main spheres
of activity:
We
are a CAMPAIGNING SOCIETY
| We
demand total LGB equality NOW! at work, at school,
in the family, and in love. We demand respect everywhere,
on campuses, in Norwich, in the UK, and Worldwide.
Recent campaigns have included a highly successful
demo for the repeal of Section 28, where nearly 1000
signatures were collected and non-LGB awareness raised.
We also made a collection on World Aids Day and raised
over 拢500 for the Terrence Higgins Trust and Norwich
Aids Help-line. Our next big fish is EQUALITY AT WORK,
a campaign to introduce pro-active protection of gays
at work |
|
We
are an INFORMATIVE SOCIETY
| Not
only do we distribute free sexual health materials
and advice, but we also do a monthly newsletter updating
you on local and national news. Our 'piece de resistance'
is our yearly 'LGB Fresher's Guide to Norwich', an
entirely independent review on the gay and gay-friendly
pubs, clubs, restaurants, shops and local organisations,
as well as sections on live music and current LGB
film. We also run a library with over 100 books (and
growing) ranging from self-help books to fiction (but
no porn!) |
|
We
are a SUPPORTIVE SOCIETY
| We
believe in pulling together to help each other 'out'!
Most gay people today will come out in their twenties.
We're here to listen and understand, but we operate
a complete confidentiality code. None of our members
will be 'outed' until they want to be. We are setting
up a confidential telephone help-line, run by students
for students, called Gayline, which should be 'on
air' by October. We also have a men's rep. And a women's
rep for one-to-ones if you need them, and each of
our institutions operates weekly coffee-drop-ins.
|
|
And
overall, we are a FUN SOCIETY!
| Our
parties are the best! From the infamous Icebreaker
Disco and our diabolical 80s night, 'It's A Sin',
to our yearly Dykes v. Poofs footie match, we welcome
everyone to our events. |
