Hello and welcome!

Dear All.

How are you? Hope you are fine and fabulous, and all ready for a great new year with us. We have made lots of plans for the year and we hope you'll be able to join us. But to start the year off, we'll first be having a Meet and Greet at the JCR this Thursday, the 1st of October 2009 at 8pm. This will then be followed by a massive cross-University of London-GBLT Club Night, in Holborn at 10pm. This will be a great opportunity to catch up and meet new people and we sincerely hope to see you there!

See you on Thursday. In the meantime, have a great Sunday and a good start to the week.

Love from,

the SOAS GBLT Society

Shooting in Tel Aviv

Recently there was a shooting in Tel Aviv at a Youth Centre for Gay Teens and resulted in the death of two people. This is truly a step backwards in terms of making it safe for GBLT youths and we must do all we can to show solidarity with the repressed (and violently treated!) GBLT youngsters of the world.

Here is the BBC news article:

India de-criminalises Gay Sex!

Just a spot of good news for the GBLT community of India. A high court in Delhi has declared that homosexual intercourse between two consenting adults is no longer a criminal act. This comes after 148 years of a colonial law which prescribes homosexual sex as illegal.

Congratulations to the people of India and this we're sure provides much inspiration to other GBLT communities around the world.

Here's the BBC news report on this momentous event: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/8129836.stm

Summer is HERE!

Dear All!

Hope the exams went well for everyone and that you've all been enjoying your liberated state of being!

Am sure everyone has their plans for the summer and that's great! If you're travelling, have a wonderful trip. If you're chilling on here, enjoy your selves. If you're heading home, sit back and relax! Whatever it is, we'll see you in again in September!

I got an email yesterday (which I thought I'd share with you) from a gay Malaysian who was telling me about the sexuality movement in Malaysia (Seksualiti Merdeka: translates as Liberate Sexuality) and the country will be having it's second pride march this year, together with street parties and family-oriented activities. I was very impressed, having grown up in Malaysia, to hear of these forward approaches in bringing the GBLT community into the wider society of the country (which is generally regarded as highly religious and conservative). Anyway, thought I'd share that with you.

Have a great summer and we'll touch-base soon!

We'll be posting events and shoutouts as they come along.
