Joint statement concerning the events at South College on 3rd December 2021. The full statement can be accessed through the link in our bio. Please reach out if you need support. 💗 instagram.com/durhamlgbtasso…

1/8: Statement: The LGBT+ Staff Network deplores the actions of the Principal of South College in inviting Rod Liddle, a speaker with a public record of discriminatory views, to Friday's college dinner and for the treatment of the students who challenged these views.

We are horrified to hear the stories coming out about the formal at South College involving Rod Liddle and Tim Luckhurst. Allowing Rod Liddle a platform to enable his transphobia and racism is beyond inappropriate.

On #TransDayOfRemembrance, we remember and honour all those who have lost their lives to transphobia. To find out more about events held across the UK, please see: 2021 Trans Day of Remembrance events | Stonewall @durham_trans @DU_LGBTStaff @DurhamLGBTa #tdor2021 #tdor

Happy Sunday, everyone! Today's CIA post is about media portrayals of working class/LGBT+ culture. In order to promote inclusivity and diversity, it's important to make sure that such groups get good representation – & to do that, we have to understand what 'good' rep looks like.
