Tell Your Living Story

posted: 01/03/2010

Terrence Higgins Trust is looking for gay men with HIV to share their stories online on their What Next? website for gay men recently diagnosed HIV positive.

The What Next? website  is looking for gay men to keep an online diary, whether you’ve been diagnosed recently or living with HIV for longer. Part of the website includes videos and diaries describing men’s personal experience. Want to share yours?

What they are looking for is the story of what you’re up to and how you’re getting on in about 500 words, once a month, and they will then post this on the What Next? website for you. You will need to agree to have your photograph on the site.

If sharing your experiences online interests you, or you would like more information, please feel free to contact Stephen Adair at Terrence Higgins Trust or call him on 020 7812 1783.
 

Gay People in Legal History

posted: 21/01/2010

LGBT History month is in February and the Ministry of Justice with the National Archives take a historical look at 'LGBT in Justice.'

It's a presentation about the history of laws used against the LGBT communities from The Buggery Act 1533, the reform proposals in the 1957 Wolfenden Report, the first reforms in the Sexual Offences Act 1967, up to this year's proposals in the Equality Bill, now being debated in Parliament. 
 

After the presentation, you will have a chance to say what you think about how the courts and tribunals in England & Wales deal with LGBT customers.
 

When and Where?

It's on Wednesday February 10th 1.30-4.00pm and Thursday February 11th 10.30am-1pm at the sparkling new Manchester Civil Justice Centre, in Spinningfields, off Deansgate, Manchester.
