Day of Silence: Friday, April 25th, 2008
March 21, 2008
Day of Silence is a national youth movement protesting the silence faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and their allies. People are deliberately silent for the day to echo that silence, which is caused by harassment, prejudice and discrimination. Ending the silence is the first step toward fighting these injustices.
Founded in 1996, the Day of Silence® has become the largest single student-led action towards creating safer schools for all, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. From the first-ever Day of Silence® at the University of Virginia in 1996, to the organizing efforts in over 1,900 middle schools, high schools, colleges and universities across the country in 2002, its textured history reflects its diversity in both numbers and reach.

Queen’s LGBT Society represented at GLAD party
March 12, 2008
Three members of the Society went along to GLAD’s (Gay and Lesbian Across Down) 1st birthday party at Betty Blacks in Bangor this Monday, the 10th of March.
Many important people also attended including the mayor and representatives from the police and GPA (Gay Police Association). It was a fabulous event with supper, cake, a quiz and a local band helped by sponsorship from the DPP (District Policing Partnerships).
We were very excited to show our support for GLAD and if you’d like to find out more about their group you can visit their website www.gladni.org
