Foreword from Professor Anthony Smith, Vice-Provost (Faculties) and LGBTQ+ champion on the University Management Committee.听

Pride Month means so many different things to different people, a reflection of the diversity of our community, friends and allies.听听

For some, it is a reminder of just how far we have come since the first Gay Pride parade in New York in 1970, a year after the Stonewall Riots were triggered by the NYPD raid on the Stonewall Inn in Manhattan鈥檚 Greenwich Village. Marches followed in other large US cities and the first UK Pride took place in London two years later, on 1 July, 1972. While it is a time to celebrate, Pride is also an important reminder, not just for the LGBTQ+ community but for the whole of society, that many people here and around the world continue to face oppression and marginalisation. And for others, participation in Pride is a much more personal moment in their journey as a member of our community.听

This year marks 40 years since the seemingly unlikely alliance between a Lesbian and Gay group from London and Miners in South Wales, during the tumultuous months of the 1984-85 Miners鈥� Strike 鈥� the longest strike in British history. As memorably captured in the 2014 film听Pride, the group raised more money for the miners than any other fundraiser in the UK and included driving from London to South Wales in a minibus emblazoned with the logo LGSM: Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners. Those same miners showed their gratitude to the LGBTQ+ community by marching in Pride 1985, doing much to break down barriers and prejudices.听

Returning to the present, this year marks new beginnings for me. In April I married Michael, my partner of sixteen years, and I retire from 香港六合彩 at the end of July. It has been an honour and privilege to be the LGBTQ+ champion on the Senior Management Team and University Management Committee for the past twelve years. Thank you to everyone from Out@香港六合彩 and friends for your support and friendship 鈥� it has always been a great network. Whenever you go into Student Centre, see if you can spot the Out@香港六合彩 branding that I got in there to signal that building鈥檚 commitment to inclusivity.听

Happy Pride!
Anthony Smith
