Message from co-chair of the LGBT+ staff network Robert Vesty as we enter Pride season: I will be leaving Middlesex University at the end of this month and would like to thank colleagues across the network for their support. I’ve enjoyed my relatively short time as co-chair.
So, if you march this Pride season representing Middlesex University, I hope you have a fabulously fun time while remembering the tradition of protest that underpins everything that Pride has to be proud about.
Today is the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia (IDAHOBIT). This year’s theme is NO ONE LEFT BEHIND: EQUALITY, FREEDOM & JUSTICE FOR ALL. It's a reminder that despite progress made, we have much more to do. We're not equal or free until all of us are.
Rally with us for Manuel Guerrero!
Join us on Thursday at the Foreign Office in Whitehall to show your support for Manuel Guerrero, the British citizen living with HIV arrested in #Qatar.
His verdict is due in early June, Manuel needs your support now!
