LGBTQ+ History Month: What’s Happening?
February marks LGBTQ+ History Month in the UK. There’s lots happening across the Union. We hope you join us in the celebrations and reflections by getting involved.
What’s happening this month?
1. LGBTQ+ Club Night
We started off the month with a club night in Lampeter to celebrate the 10 anniversary of the legalisation of same-sex marriage in the UK. It was filled with great music a load of singing and dancing and a toast at midnight to celebrate.
2. Lampeter LGBTQ+ Society: Union Spotlight
Union Spotlight puts the focus on one of our clubs or societies and what they are up to. This month, we’ll be highlighting and celebrating our Lampeter-based LGBTQ+ society. They are a very active society, constantly planning what they want to do next, from club nights in Xtension to make-up sessions with Give It A Go they have something for everyone to enjoy and take part in. Their Union Spotlight will be coming out super soon, so keep an eye out on our socials for that.
