QUEER QUESTION TIME
Launch of LGBT HISTORY MONTH 2012

SURAN DICKSON, CEO of Diversity Role Models, helps to launch LGBT History Month 2011 in Southwark with Queer Question Time at the fabulous Glaziers Hall by the river Thames on Wednesday 1 February 2011.

SUE SANDERS (Co-Chair of LGBT History Month UK and Schools Out) and Councillor ABDUL MOHAMED (Cabinet Member for Equalities and Community Engagement) will be opening the evening at 7pm followed by a performance from the PINK SINGERS, London’s LGBT community choir.

This will be followed by Queer Question Time at 7.30pm. Suran will chair an hour long public debate that promises to be 'convivial but edgy', with a formidable panel of 5 local, national, and international LGBT icons and commentators, including BOB BALLARD (Radio and TV sports broadcaster), CLAIRE HARVEY (GB Sitting Volleyball Women’s Team & Head of Corporate Responsibility, FSA), DAVE MERCHANT (Chair of Marlin Swimming, the trans swimming group), PETER TATCHELL (human rights campaigner) and KELLY SIMMONS (Head of National Game, The FA).


Doors open at 6pm and refreshments will be served. Admission is FREE but advance booking is strongly advised as places are limited. To book your place contact Helen Laker on 020 7525 0848 or Helen.Laker@southwark.gov.uk
This is the eighth year that LGBT History Month has been marked across the UK. It is an annual celebration of the lives and achievements of the LGBT community, with a special theme this year of "tackling homophobia and transphobia in the world of sport". Queer Question Time will cover this topic as well as the Olympics and the Cultural Olympiad and the broader issues facing the LGBT community.
