Today November 20, transgender people & allies gather around the world to memorialize & remember the victims of transphobic violence killed in the last year, and honour the strength of trans folks in the face of hardship.
We stand in solidarity with our TNBI communities. #brighton #hove #TDOR

We attended #TheCoastisQueer #LGBTQ+ literary festival at Sussex #ACCA this weekend, so much positive Queer stuff there, huge thanks to all who make it happen.
Here's some cool pics from a 'Queering the Archive' workshop we went too from the Uni Library collection.

Seeing our employer fly the bisexual flag from the Town Hall means everything. This visible support shows we're seen and celebrated.
it's a powerful message that bisexual colleagues belong here authentically

a black and white image of what looks like a women, dressed in a white bathing suit and skirt, with bare feet, who has jumped off a metal structure, it may be a pier as there is water underneath her and in the background a beach lined with people looking out, there is another person leaning on the riveted iron beams which the woman appears to have stepped off. She does not fall, her arms are flapping quickly, but steadily and she appears to hover in the same place, like a hawk or hummingbird, not dropping, but steady a few feet away from the edge of the pier. She moves slightly, as a hovering bird might in real flight, but does not drop down. It's a fun, surreal but also silly image, playing with our ideas of vintage photo's and suggesting another fun reality

The stature rises above the crowd, and is framed between two blocks of white buildings, although you can't see many of the people are holding candles, there is a warm glow showing through the crowds or illuminating peoples skin at the end of the community vigil to mark and remember people lost to HIV in the city, people have left their candles in holders around the base of the Tay Memorial. This is a large statue in a public park in the city, a statue or two intertwining human forms seeming to dance and rise up into the sky, it is lit in a dramatic red light, against a deep blue and darkening night. it's the AIDS memorial in Brighton and hove lit for World Aids Day .
