Newsletter

The days are shortening and darkness is becoming a cosy blanket in the evening. But don’t sit at home on your own - come and watch an LGBT movie with your friends! From this month you can enjoy this not only in Inverness but also in Caithness – with its growing LGBT social group. Two films will be shown this month: ‘Better than Chocolate’ in Inverness and ‘Priscilla, Queen of the Desert’ in Wick.

This newsletter is accompanied by a questionnaire for those of you living in Highland. It has been 18 months since we started organising LGBT events based on the needs assessment that we did then. It is important for us to evaluate our activities; we are curious to know what you think of our events and the suggestions you may have for us. Please take a few minutes to fill in the
questionnaire and send it back to us in the envelope provided.

We are also happy to announce an event that we will organise in December. On Wednesday 10 December James Morton, Scottish Transgender Alliance Project co-ordinator, will give a talk on the findings of ‘Beyond Binaries: Addressing the Health Service Provision Needs of People with Fluid Non-Binary Gender Identities and Sexualities’. This will be part of the monthly T group (group for people who identify as transgender) evening at THT.

Last but not least I would like to draw your attention to the latest excellent themed websites that have been launched by THT: Gaybritain (for gay migrant workers), drugfucked (drugs,
sex and gay sex), family matters (lgb and families).

Enjoy the autumnal weather and the colourful display that comes with it.
