#OBSR 7: LGBT History Month

Part of NUS Black Student Campaign “Operation: Black Students’ Representation” election special by NUS BSC president; Aaron Kiely… #OBSR 7: LGBT History Month

February marks LGBT History Month and we want to congratulate UK Black Pride and all our brothers and sisters who tirelessly campaign for the Black LGBT community, by taking on racism, homophobia and transphobia for all of their hard work.
You can find out more about the award-winning UK Black Pride by visiting their website: http://www.ukblackpride.org.uk/ Other Black LGBT organisations include http://www.safraproject.org/ and http://www.imaan.org.uk/

Let’s also take the opportunity to celebrate the great contributions that Black LGBT people have made to the struggle for equality. Audre Lorde. Simon Nkoli. James Baldwin. Tracy Chapman. Linda Bellos. Angela Davis. Margaret Cho…and many more!
