Reiss McGuinness for LGBT Rep.
I have recently become very interested in LGBT issues after researching gender, identity, sexuality and the relevance of labeling people in the LGBT community. I have been active for a long time in political campaigns, running the Bath Spa Activists society, and engaging with political campaigns outside the university such as the NUS national marches, TUC marches and student demonstrations.
VOTE 6TH – 8TH MARCH
Now I want to focus my experience on this specific area I have been extremely interested in for a long time. I feel that it needs to be elevated within the university. As LGBT rep I will: Hold regular meetings on the history of LGBT struggle, roots of discrimination and its source. Put on events involving the education of people about transgender issues. Arrange educational events about, often ignored, asexuality and polyamory
I will make sure to put on events for LGBT history month and Transgender awareness week Organise and get as many people to as many Pride/LGBT marches and events I can Hold stalls, cake sales etc. popularizing events and LGBT issues. Put more action into the LGBT group. Most importantly listen to feedback, I want to hear what you have to say, and get as many people from different groups as possible involved in our events.
