Hello LGBT!
Welcome to, or back to, Cardiff!
What's new!
LGBT students have always had an LGBT Officer in the Union to protect our students and to lobby on their behalf as the political arm of the LGBT community. There has always also been an LGBT Society, organising social events for our community.
However, what's new this year is that the position of the Union's Officer is broadening to become a Campaign with an Officer and L, G, B and T representatives! The Officer will be elected in the October by-elections when other non-sabbatical officers are elected. After this there will be an election in the LGBT Society for the L, G, B and T posts. This will allow us to do more on your behalf and also be more accessible to you. The Society will remain unchanged but will have a closer and a more obvious link with the Campaign, so that the LGBT Officer is always accountable.
Together, the Society and the Campaign will be the brand new LGBT Association.
What we stand for!
The Campaign believes that homophobia, under-representation and inequality are unacceptable and are going to campaign with groups such as Stonewall for a more progressive world!
We also offer sexual health advice and emotional support and a link to your Student's Union to ensure that it's working at it's highest capability for you.
Our plan
After the elections this blog will be a way for the Officer and the L, G, B and T Officers to communicate what we have been achieving each week for you, and a way for you to ask us to do more. At Fresher's we will be for suggestions for our most pressing responsibilities, such as bi and trans invisibility but the opportunities for you to tell us what we should be doing are always here.
Right now, all the positions in the Campaign are open so if you are interested in filling any of them please contact Mark, president of the LGBT society!
Let's get beyond this!

About Me
- lgbtcampaigncardiff
- I'm Rachelle and I'm Cardiff's LGBT Officer. I'm a third year English Literature student. In representing LGBT students here I'm particularly interested in trans rights, LGBT students and mental health, lesbian and bisexual women's sexual health and homophobia at halls. I imagine they will grow and change as I achieve more. I'm interested in working with Stonewall, THT, NUS and other bodies to achieve things too, and have a strong relationship with the LGBT Society here. I have blogged from a young age and am very interested in cultural theory and current affairs, although when I mention them I am usually writing in a purely personal capacity.
