Appropriate Behaviour (Film)

Last month I went to a screening of Appropriate Behaviour held by the Reel Equality Film Club at The Broadway Cinema in Nottingham. The film is very unique in a number of ways. It’s written and directed by a woman (Desiree Akhavan). The lead character (Shirin) is a woman. In fact most of the main characters are women, … Continue reading Appropriate Behaviour (Film) →

Bisexual Visibility at Manchester Pride

Originally Published September 2014 Last year I took part in Manchester Pride Parade for the first time by joining BiPhoria’s walking entry. It was an amazing, exhilarating experience but I left with a lot of ideas of things I wanted to try for the parade in 2014. The parade at Manchester Pride is massive.

A Look Back at 2014

Originally Published Dec 2014 As we’re approaching the end of December I thought I’d write an entry to summarise the year…and what a year it’s been!

The show was unfortunately a victim of its own unsatisfactory ending and has never been remembered fondly since.

My Harmful Heteronormative Education

I was born the year before Section 28 was introduced, so with two exceptions, nothing LGBT+ was ever shown or mentioned by teachers at school. There was nothing in the syllabus either. Before I write about these two exceptions though, let me take you through a brief history of my education… In primary school nothing LGBT+ was ever mentioned. … Continue reading My Harmful Heteronormative Education →

Tip for Putting Flyers on Public Notice Boards

Over the past few weeks I have been distributing flyers for BiCon around the good city of Nottingham. My key discovery has been that lots of places such as bookshops, cafes and supermarkets have mostly empty notice boards. This is because they either don’t provide any drawing pins or don’t provide enough of ’em! Even when I’ve … Continue reading Tip for Putting Flyers on Public Notice Boards →
