Having had no LGBT+ friends at school (that I knew of) I was simply looking for a chance to meet people like me. This will be the case for many of you reading this as you take your first steps into university life. For others, you may be coming to Imperial with years of experi- ence in the LGBT+ community under your belt. Whatever your background, rest assured that IQ is a so- ciety open to everyone, with members that have a wide range of experiences. We hold events, both silly and serious, that cater to our diverse group of members. For me, I found a great bunch of people, a greater awareness of the challenges facing LGBT+ students and the chance to get involved and change things for the better. Join me in the best society at Imperial and have a fantastic year! - Scott 5 “THE IMPORTANT THING IS NOT THE OBJECT OF LOVE, BUT THE EMOTION ITSELF.” Gore Vidal American writer (1925 - 2012) 6 ALL ABOUT IQ IQ (or Imperial Queers long ago) is the LGBT+ society for Imperial College Union. We support and aim to unite those under the LBGT+ banner at Imperial College. We are an open, judgement free society and welcome people of all genders and sexualities. We’re here to help people get to know each other, to provide support for people and gen- erally to have a great time doing it! facebook.com/iqlgbt twitter.com/iqlgbt union.ic.ac.uk/iq 7 WHAT DO WE DO? - We organise events for the LGBT+ student community. We do everything from going out clubbing, to discussions about really important things, with a few film nights and days out thrown in on the way. - We provide safe spaces and a confidential peer support service to any part of the community. - To promote awareness to the student body about LGBT+ and related issues.

    Young Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual (LGB) People

    Briefi ng 3 Young lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) people Briefings for health and social care staff (a) Specific issues for young LGB people Young lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) people can be vulnerable to a number of health risks because of people’s reactions to their identity. They may also feel stigmatised; there are very few role models for young LGB people, and many conclude that society will not approve of them. Many young people know they are lesbian, gay or bisexual by the age of 11 or 12, or have feelings of being different.1 However, some do not come out to someone else until they are 15 or 16. This period (11–16 years old) has been described as the isolation years and is the most crucial for targeting support and information. Homophobic bullying is an increasing problem in schools; the word ‘gay’ is the most frequent term of abuse in playgrounds. Evidence suggests that LGB young people, and those perceived to be LGB, may be more at risk of bullying.2 Between 30% and 50% of young people in secondary schools attracted to people of the same sex will have directly experienced homophobic bullying, compared with 10–20% of young people who have experienced general bullying.3 ChildLine4 estimates that around 2,700 young people access their services each year to talk about sexual orientation, homophobia and homophobic bullying. The most common problems talked about were homophobic bullying and fear of telling their parents about their sexual orientation. Furthermore, young people with LGB parents sometimes experience bullying.

    FELIX THE NEWSPAPER OF IMPERIAL COLLEGE UNION Friday 16th May 1980 Issue No. 553 President of ICWA shocks AGM A new President was ratified at last Tuesday's ICWA AGM. Sandra O'Sullivan was the only candidate for the post of President and so won the election. However, in a speech to the meeting she said that in her opinion ICWA has failed. Sandra said that she would not get rid of ICWA but would just make it clear to the girls at IC how little ICWA does for them. Sandra said that she would not sit on any committees and this could lead to an attempt by other members of ICWA to remove her from the position. This year's President said, "It's just a bit rediculous but all the rest of the committee are very keen - we will continue anyway. It doesn't matter about the President." " Last years ICU President, Mary Attenborough, joked that she might as well stand for Chairman of the Conservative Society. (Mary is known for her political affilations to political groups other than the Conservatives and if she was elected CONSOC chairman she considered that it would be equally rediculous). Roger Stotesbury commented that Sandra The new ICWA President was the only candidate, who stood in the ICWA elections,who actually bothered to come to the meeting. Sandra O'Sullivan "It just shows that ICWA cannot survive if there is no interest," he said. RCS AGM Last Tuesday's RCS Annual General Meeting managed to elect an Assistant Honorary Secretary, Jane Lavers, and ratified the folio wing posts: Ents Chairman— Dave Thompson; Publicity Officer — Caroline Godin.
