February is the annual month-long celebration of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender history. It is a dedicated time to acknowledge, celebrate and share the impact of LGBTQ+ culture.

We're exploring four key themes this LGBTQ+ History Month - Intersectionality, Queer Arts, Celebration of Gender & Community.

Intersectionality embodies how often discrimination of one marginalised community may impact greatly on the other parts of individuals, which is often overlooked.

Seeing communities as not being homogeneous but made up of individuals and their experiences gives people back the power of their identities and creates space for conversations.

Here's a few events we've got coming up...


Meet your officers

Your LGBTQ+ Officer and Trans Officer lead the Union and their Networks in continuing to build an engaging, dynamic and rewarding community of LGBT+ students on campus and beyond.

LGBTQ+ Officer, Micah Gerstner

I'm working to improve LGBTQ+ Network presence on campus and foster more inclusion of queer folks across campus.


Anji Suri, Trans Officer

As someone who knows what it's like to be trans in a world of cis people (18 years of lived experience!), I'm determined to have our experiences represented.
