The Reading Group came into being in order to bridge the gap that is always there between what can be described as the Ivory Tower of academia and the “real world” of activism. The idea is to discuss texts (books, films, ‘zines, articles, television series, comic books, academic articles, people’s opinions/knowledge/experiences) in ways that are meaningful to us and with the tools we have available. Some of us have a Queer Theory background, some of us are long-time queer activists and some of us are new to both things.

Thinking about taking part in the parade but wish it was like old times where marching for our rights came before entering as walking advertisements for greedy corporate sponsors and boistrous self-publisist gay charities?

Join us in declaring “Pride IS a Protest”!

Taking inspiration from Birmingham’s amazing Pride is a protest event, there is now an organised group of queer activists working to ensure a similar event takes place during the Manchester Pride Parade on Saturday 23 August 2008.

This group was formed out of a lack of unified information on queer activity in Manchester. Hopefully this can catalogue queer events going on, and be a good place for general discussion.

This website belongs to the Bradford Samba Band. We’re a society in the University of Bradford Union but we’re open to everyone: If you want to creatively protest the great injustices of the world, then you’re welcome here. If you’ve got rhythm, its a bonus, but its not essential. We’re always looking for new members, so please get involved.

First Sunday of the month, come to the LGBTQ Centre behind 8th Day on Oxford Road for Sunday lunch, nice people and Sunday papers. It’s bring a dish, so please bring some food if you are able.

The cafe is primarily a safe space for queers and their friends. We take queer to mean people of all genders, sexualities, and sexes and who are involved in all kinds of relationship types. We started the Cafe out of a lack of safe spaces for queers to get cheap, vegetarian and vegan food and generally hang out and be well.

Inspired by the Slingshot diaries, the Queer Web Project though it would be nice to have an iCalendar-importable “on this day” archive for your electronic diary.

This module needs a maintainer. Please feel free to contact the group owner and take it over!
