SUMMARY:Stand Against Suella
DESCRIPTION:This week\, Home Secretary Suella Braverman made dehumanising comments attacking LGBTQIA asylum seekers. She argued that facing discrimination or persecution based on sexual orientation should not qualify refugees for asylum. \nThese remarks impinge on fundamental LGBTQIA rights and dignity. We cannot stay silent when a senior government official promotes such harmful views. \nIn collaboration with the African Rainbow Family\, we are organising a protest to stand in solidarity against Braverman’s stance. The demonstration will take place this Sunday\, October 1\, at Parliament Square.   \nWe are calling on London’s LGBTQIA community and allies to join us at the protest. By turning up in force\, we can send a powerful message to Suella and the government that they cannot trample LGBTQ+ rights.  \nPlease stand with us this Sunday as we stand up for LGBTQ+ rights and community. Together\, we can make our voices heard.

SUMMARY:FutureQueer - created and performed by Alexis Gregory
DESCRIPTION:It’s 2069….and the whole world is queer. \nVoguing and lip syncing are categories in the Olympics. \nThere is a statue of George Michael on Hampstead Heath. \nAnd Starbucks own Pride (boo!). \nForty-six years ago\, in 1977\, setting out to create the sound of the future\, Donna Summer recorded queer anthem ‘I Feel Love’. But what will life REALLY be like for queer people in 2069\, forty-six years from now? \nArmed with a vintage Donna Summer vinyl\, playwright and performer Alexis Gregory decides to find out. ‘FutureQueer’ is part theatre\, stand-up comedy\, DIY queer lecture\, pop-culture commentary\, and meditation on disco music as a metaphor for queer survival. Basically….this show is camp AF. It’s also funny\, moving\, hard hitting\, irreverent\, provocative\, and a very queer romp through an imagined LGBTQ+ future. \nDoors and bar open from 6.30pm. \nThe performance will be followed by a post-show Q&A. \nLimited tickets now available. \nShow runs 70 mins + Q&A. \nMore info on the show here and booking link: \nlink.outsavvy.com/futurequeer

SUMMARY:Still Me - BFI Flare 2024
DESCRIPTION:After the success of 2019’s Transparent Love exhibition at BFI Flare\, leading photographer Amanda Searle has created Still Me\, an original series of beautiful portraits of ordinary people who have lived and are living extraordinary lives. These images approach the subjects with honesty and dignity\, exploring themes of gender and identity through a profoundly human lens. \nAmanda says: “I feel we cannot know or understand fully what it is like to live a transgender life\, unless we are living one\, but we can know and understand people who do. I hope these portraits give a sense of meeting these amazing people. I thank them for sharing time with me\, it has been an honour to get to know them.” \nAll About Trans creates space for dialogue and understanding about trans people building connections and inspiring authentic media content that reflects real-life experiences. The programme is run by award-winning small charity Heard ( Heard.org.uk).

SUMMARY:London Global Speak Out Against LGBT+ Criminalization in Russia
DESCRIPTION:“The Russian regime is stripping LGBT+ people of their basic human rights and even their right to exist. Courageous activists are standing firm\, but they need our love and solidarity. The Global Speak Out on March 16 turns that solidarity into action.” – Matt Beard\, Executive Director at All Out.\n\nIn the wake of Russia’s decision to label the “international public LGBT+ movement” as extremist\, the situation for LGBT+ people within the country has reached a critical point. Facing increased danger\, it’s become too dangerous for many to remain in Russia.\n\nThis is a call to action.\n\nOn Saturday 16 March 2024\, join us in London from 2pm to 4pm\, in a worldwide moment of solidarity. Rally opposite the Russian Embassy on Bayswater Road\, London W8 4QX. Nearest tubes: Queensway and Notting Hill Gate.\n\nAcross the globe\, communities will unite in front of Russian embassies\, government buildings\, and in town centers to voice our protest against the criminalization of the LGBT+ community in Russia. This is more than a protest; it’s a demonstration of our unwavering support and solidarity.\n\nDress Code: In a show of unity and to symbolize the suppression of LGBT+ identities\, we encourage attendees to wear all-gray or black-and-white attire.\nWe stand together\, peaceful and positive\, championing love and equality.\n\nBe a part of this global movement. Your voice matters. See you there!
