As this seems to be a nice sharing thread – here’s what we’re up to in Manchester.
We have our own timetable (below) and then this is amalgamated into a super timetable with MMU and University of Salford (attached) – all staff and student groups.

Subject: Re: LGBT History Month at NTU
Hi all
Thought I'd share what we will be doing to mark the month. As part of the celebrations the University and Portsmouth, supported by the LGBT Staff Forum, is proud to be promoting a range of events through the month open to all
staff and students.
Films will be shown in the Eldon Building, which in conjunction with this special event will be lighting up its exterior in rainbow colours to mark this important month within the diversity
calendar:
• Tuesday 3–Thursday 26 February. In partnership with Portsmouth Film Society, the University will be hosting the 'Pride LGBT Film Festival'. One
of the highlights will the opening night screening on Tuesday 3 February of the recent film release Pride, a historical comedy-drama film about UK gay activists work to help miners during their lengthy strike in the Summer of 1984. Mike Jackson, the
original chairperson of 'Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners' and one of the main characters portrayed in the film, with be attending and taking a Q&A after the screening. This in one of seven films being shown throughout the month.
• Wednesday 11 February. A public lecture by Peter Tatchell, political campaigner best known for his work with LGBT social movements – despite
great progress on LGBTI rights in the UK, there are still injustices. Same-sex marriage is separate and unequal to marriage. Equality laws have exemptions for religious organisations. Hundreds of thousands of people are victims of homophobic hate crime and
bullying in schools. Many geniune LGBTI refugees are detained and refused asylum. HIV and sex and relationship education mostly ignores LGBTI pupils. Much more needs to be done to secure LGBTI acceptance, equality and inclusion.
• Wednesday 18 February. Hosted by the University and Portsmouth City Council, an evening panel event at John Pounds Community Centre, on LGBT
equality and prize-winning film screening. Chaired by Dr Páraic Finnerty, speakers include: Dr SooziMead, 'Historians on LGBT History'; Dr Sue Bruley , 'Uppity women: Lesbians in the Women's Liberation Movement in 1970s Britain'; Dr Paul Flenley, 'Gay Rights
in Russia: the cultural and political context'; Dr Deborah Shaw, 'A whistle-stop tour of lesbians on screen'. Film: Sweat (15mins, Dir: John Lochland).
