Hot on the heels of the LGF 2011 Homo Hero Awards, the wonderful organisation has produced a little video highlighting their work and activities/projects. There's a really nice bit at the end with all the team. Special shout outs to Adam who kindly took time out to speak to Law and Sexuality students last year during a Manchester field trip (ginger, glasses and talking to the camera) and also Darren who (small world) I was at high-school with (hands behind his head, leaning back - a pose he often struck in GCSE business studies).
There are always going to be things that academics, commentators and campaigners nit pick and moan about with organisations such as LGF but it's important not to lose sight of the fact we - all of us - are better for the existence of organisations such as LGF. So thank you guys.
If you were bisexual you might not think that asking where is the 'B' in the LGF was 'nitpicking'!
ReplyDeleteWas that meant for this post?
ReplyDeleteYes. I was referring to your comment that 'there are always going to be things that academics, commentators and campaigners nit pick and moan about with organisations such as LGF' and my main 'moan' is that LGF stands for 'Lesbian and Gay Foundation' and erases other queer people.
ReplyDeleteThis is a 'broken record'. But the gay elitism of gay organisations is also a broken record.
Pointing that out is something I think is worth doing.
