TUC LGBT Committee
The TUC LGBT Committee, supported by the Greater London Association of Trade Union Councils hosted a successful public meeting (16th July 2012) on where next, after the debacle of this year's World Pride, in a packed room of over 90 representatives of Labour Movement bodies and LGBTQ community organisations.
These include: Unite, Sertuc, LGBT Network, Queer Resistance, Regard, London LGBT Consortium, Left Front Art Collective, LGBT Labour, OUTRAGE! and UK Black Pride to mention a few.
The meeting was introduced and navigated by Peter Purton – TUC Disability and LGBT Policy Officer on what the points the meeting should be looking at.
The two hours was swiftly taken up with contributions, some very passionate, from the floor ranging from wanting an inquest into what had happened to developing on what we want for the future and what the next step was to be.
David Sharkey from the Sertuc LGBT Network and Left Front Art made an excellent contribution on the role of youth in the event and how to engage with young LGBTQ people and get them involved.[1]
