Proud festivities 15-19 May

5 May 2006 | Kerces

The annual Cross-campus Pride Week is almost upon us again (not that I think I’ve managed to go to any part of it before)!

The festivities of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transexual and queer identifying (I know I’ll get an earful if that’s wrong) students of UC and ANU is jointly organised by the two queer societies and they have a whole host of events planned. I’m not entirely sure about who is welcome at these events but I’m fairly certain the opening, which Zed’s-rival-for-dishy-MLA Andrew Barr will be attending, is open to everyone.

The events start with a champagne brunch on Monday 15 May and run through until Friday 19 May. A draft program is below.

Yeah, it’s a pity you’re no good at the clean, just the …

Sssanta2:16 pm 05 May 06

Indi,

I hear Thumper & Mael are in the front running to win the clean and jerk.

Indi1:57 pm 05 May 06

Could someone ‘expand’ upon the events scheduled for the Queerlympics?

I know a person who is quite accomplished at Leepfrog.

Mr Evil12:08 pm 05 May 06

Thumper, you can’t just offer AD the World Leader position like that: you need to seek approval from the UN first.

Sorry BT – my bad.

barking toad10:43 am 05 May 06

thank you Sssanta, I feel warm and accepted

I’m going to contact the mayor and nominate you for the Social Inclusion Committee

Sssanta10:32 am 05 May 06

It’s alright Mr toad. You are known as part of the dark side.

Absent Diane10:32 am 05 May 06

I have a concept… (is that anticipation I hear…nope its the sound of my PC dieing).. Why don’t the homo’s put on a night called ‘lets all get pissed together and not give a shit who sleeps with who and what sex because when it comes down to it doesn’t matter’… and then in return straighties will put on a night called ‘lets all get pissed together…. some wankers might be red neck homophobes but most of us don’t care so long as we can get pissed and have fun’

Then you will develop a sense of mateship and there will be no lines dividing… the straights are more likely to stick up for the homo’s against red necks because everyone is on the same level…

Tell me I shouldn’t be a world leader…

ps… for the PC I only use the word homo because it sounds funny in that juvenile kind of way to call people homo’s
