海角直播 proud to host Pride

This Pride Month, 海角直播 is hosting a free festival championing LGBTQ+ communities, celebrating acceptance and promoting wellbeing.

海角直播 Pride will be held on Friday 30 June, featuring a full line-up of guests, activities and events. As the largest Pride event ever held by the University, it will include:

• A wellbeing walk led by Brengle the Therapy Dog
• Stalls representing a range of LGBTQ+ businesses and organisations as well as 海角直播 services
• A literary hour showcasing the work of LGBTQ+ writers such as award-winning poet Aditya Tiwari
• Queer yoga and meditation sessions
• A singing performance by Jade Mia Broadhead
• A DJ and deck mixing workshop by Abby Harris

Skunk Anansie singer and 海角直播 honorary graduate Skin has provided a special video message which will be shown during the event, and trans rights activist Ellie Lowther will be attending. 海角直播 Pride has been organised by its LGBTQ+ Focus Group, which works to raise awareness around issues affecting the community, address potential barriers and improve experiences for staff and students.

Vik Brown, who is an LGBTQ+ Role Model and Chair of the LGBTQ+ Focus Group at 海角直播, organised the event.

She said: 鈥満＝侵辈� embraces diversity and is committed to fostering an inclusive environment for all of those who work and study here.

鈥淲e are very excited to host this event on campus in order to celebrate Pride together with students, staff and members of the local community.鈥�

海角直播 Pride is being delivered as part of 海角直播鈥檚 TU Proud initiative, which celebrates and supports LGBTQ+ role models and allies.

The festival will take place on Friday 30 June, from 11.00am. It is free to attend, and everybody is welcome. Visit the 海角直播 website for the full itinerary.

Pride Month commemorates the Stonewall Riots, also known as the Stonewall Uprising, which started on 28 June 1969 after police officers raided a gay club in New York City.

LGBTQ+ communities took a stand against the ongoing police harassment they were facing, and the ensuing riots and protests in the US triggered a global campaign for LGBTQ+ rights.
