Description

Have you ever wondered why the pride flag has changed over the years?
Do you want to know what the different colours on the non-binary flag mean?

Come and say hi!

We will have lots of information about the many LGBTQ+ pride flags and a mountain of colourful beads, so you can make your own bracelet or keyring. It's also an opportunity to have a chat and learn more about different LGBTQ+ identities.

Check out the Students' Union website for more information about UWE's LGBTQ+ community for students.

And if you would like to join the staff LGBTQ+ network, please email lgbt@uwe.ac.uk.

Everyone is welcome at this drop-in LGBT+ History Month event - including staff, students, and wonderful allies.
