This Friday, the 17th of May, is IDAHOBIT, the International Day Against LGBTQIA+ Discrimination.

It is with shock and sadness that we have witnessed the violent events and loss of life in the Middle East. We recognise that within our community, there are individuals with strong connections to the region, and some who may have family and friends directly affected by the current conflict. The current situation will be particularly distressing for them.
