In view of the ongoing gay rights debates in India, Uganda, Europe, America and elsewhere, the panel will explore some reasons behind the marginal status of gay issues within legal rights discourse. What engenders the relative invisibility of such issues within national and international law? Can arguments based on cultural relativity and sensitivity justify opposition to gay equality?
A panel of distinguished speakers will address these issues to an audience of students, academics, lawyers, and the broader public at the University College London’s Gustave Tuck Lecture Theatre. Friday 15 October 2010. For information visit gayrights.eventbrite.com

Thank you to all who have already volunteered for the Grass Roots project. The training sessions will run as follows:
the first training day will be on Monday 25th January 5:30 - 8:30pm, in Room SB1, 188 Tottenham Court Road. This is a ‘Working with Children’ course provided by the VSU. We are aware that some volunteers may have completed the course or one similar before. If you have attended the exact course before it is not necessary for you to do so again but if you have done a similar course, we strongly suggest that you come along to this course also.
We are told that ‘light snacks’ will be provided, and I’m sure it will provide a great excuse to grab a drink nearby afterwards, if anyone needs one. If you cannot attend this evening there are also others on Thursday 28th and Thursday 4th February, same time. Please let us know which session you wish to attend by emailing
