CUSU LGBT Events – 15th Nov

‘CU STANDS UP’ WEEK: LBGT’S ‘BLOODY UNFAIR’ Every year CUSU runs a ‘CU Stands Up’ Week, which is a week of events showing everyone in the university what CUSU does. This year, CU Stands Up Week is Saturday 13 November – Saturday 20 November. CUSU LBGT’s day is Monday 15 November, so look forward to be introduced to our newest campaign, Bloody Unfair, raising awareness of the lifetime ban on men who’ve had sex with men donating blood, and the 12 month ban on females who have had sex with men who’ve had sex with men.

COME FIND US DURING THE DAY 12-2PM, NEW MUSEUMS AND SIDGWICK SITES
Members of the CUSU LBGT Exec will be staffing stalls and flyering 12-2pm on both the New Museums Site and Sidgwick Site. We’ll have flyers and information and will be there to talk to people about what CUSU LBGT does.

Open to everyone interested in knowing more and/or shaping the stance of CUSU LBGT on the MSM blood ban. This will be a great time to get brainstorming on what CUSU LBGT could do with ‘Bloody Unfair’. This event will be followed by…

‘A BLOODY HARD PUB QUIZ’, 8-9:30PM @ THE COW
In line with our new campaign ‘Bloody Unfair’ about the MSM blood ban, our weekly quiz night will be slightly themed and extra taxing. Come in droves, come in teams or come and join a team for a bloody hard pub quiz.

An extra special, extra righteous, extra red Rendezvous. The Cow’s turning red, the cocktails are turning red, you’ll get to shoot up shots in syringes and anyone who turns up fully in red gets cheaper entry and 2-for-1 on bloody red vodka jellies.
