#swansea uni lgbt society
Swansea University LGBT+ Society welcomes all LGBT+ identities, including asexual people. Since we’re a new committee we haven’t been able to hold any events as of yet but I plan to work with our officers in the Student Union to have more educational events and workshops this year. These would be focused on raising awareness of some of the less discussed identities, attractions and sexualities in the community and I’ve committed to seeing these plans through in my role as President.
In general, the society is accepting of everyone regardless of how they identify as long as they abide by the constitution and safe space policy. I have no tolerance for prejudice or the attitude that some identities are more important than others. First and foremost, the society provides a place for people to be themselves. In the year that I have been part of the society I have found it to be a community that people enjoying being part of. In the case of many members, all we know is that they want to be part of the society without knowing how they identify.
The society is not centred on campaigning like many others, but I would like to host many more workshops on many topics in order to educate both new and existing members further. It may be impossible to have an awareness week for every type of orientation or identity but we’re planning on covering as many as we can, be it by workshop, leaflets or articles posted on our social network groups.
It’s great to see Swansea University on this list and great to hear about plans for this year!
