  • 18Th July 2014 University of Glasgow, Sir Charles Wilson Building
    18th July 2014 University of Glasgow, Sir Charles Wilson Building Glasgow Human Rights Network #LGBTIhrc CONFERENCE WELCOME On behalf of the conference partners – The Equality Network, Glasgow Human Rights Network, Kaleidoscope Trust and Pride Glasgow – and the conference steering group, we welcome you to the LGBTI Human Rights in the Commonwealth Conference here in Glasgow. Just five days before the start of the Commonwealth Games in the city, and with the eyes of the Commonwealth and the world upon us, this conference aims to create a focus for LGBTI human rights discussions, providing a space to share ideas, practice and campaigns, engaging participants in global human rights issues and, importantly, ensuring the visibility of Commonwealth LGBTI people and culture during the games. The human rights record of the Commonwealth is not one to celebrate. When 42 of the 53 members of the Commonwealth criminalise their own LGBTI citizens and many people do not know about the role of the Commonwealth or what it does, the conference offers a unique opportunity to raise and highlight LGBTI human rights successes and challenges, seeking ways to work together to help make Commonwealth a better place for all, and exploring ways in which people and communities can be a part of wider campaigns for equality and human rights. We are delighted to be joined by speakers from around the Commonwealth, here to share their insights, expertise and knowledge on the Commonwealth, international human rights, sexual orientation, gender identity and intersex equality. We hope this conference will be engaging and that you will leave today better informed about the struggles, successes and challenges that LGBTI people face around the Commonwealth and what you can do to better support LGBTI equality around the world.

  • Glasgow LGBT History Walk
    Glasgow LGBT History Walk This walk was devised by OurStory Scotland in 2014 at the time of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. The walk was led on 29 July by Donald Gray, Criz McCormick and Margaret Hamilton, and had input from many others, notably Tommy Clarke, Amy Murphy and Jeff Meek. In 2008, for the OurSpace exhibition at the Kelvingrove, the first LGBT exhibition at a major Scottish museum, OurStory Scotland created the OurSpace Map, mapping the past through places important to the LGBT community. Jeff Meek has created several LGBT Historical Maps of Scotland including an interactive Glasgow LGBT Historical Map that plots queer spaces and places that can be included along the way, or as detours from the route. The point of the History Walk is not to act as a guide to places that operate now, but to record a heritage of past places that have been significant for our community. This is a circular walk that can begin anywhere on the route, and of course can be walked in part or over several occasions. There is an extended loop out to the Mitchell Library. From there a diversion could be added to the Kelvingrove, site of the OurSpace exhibition in 2008. Another extended loop takes in the Citizens Theatre, People’s Palace and Glasgow Women’s Library. The extended loops can be omitted from a shorter central walk, or undertaken as separate walks. In July 2014, at the time of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, the walk started and finished at Pride House. Route of the Glasgow LGBT History Walk 14 Albion Street Pride House for the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

    Annual Report 2013/14 EPOA · ANNUAL REPORT 2013/14 Welcome to EPOA! EPOA, the European Pride Organisers Association, had a difficult working year. It is not a secret that maintaining a cross-border non-profit organisation with limited financial means is a daunting task. Add to the mix some new faces and new ideas and fireworks are guaranteed. Unfortunately some of the board members have left us half way through the working year for all sorts of different reasons. But looking back at some of the challenges we came across, it has to be said that the board and its vision has come out even stronger. So with the remaining board members we obviously ensured the proper functioning of the organisation but foremost lined ourselves up towards a better organisa- tion for the future. EPOA, through its members, has an enormous potential for A lot of preparatory work was done towards improving EPOA the future, a reason why we are really actively looking to grow as a whole: search for new members, defining internal proce- this organisation.

    Glasgow’s Queer Battleground by Andrew McCartan, Bachelor of Science Geography A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Faculty of Geography, Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario © 2017 Abstract As LGBTQ rights have gained increasing acceptance in Western countries, Pride events have come to stand as examples of the complex reality of inclusion in public space as it is experienced by contemporary LGBTQ groups. This thesis takes the case study of Glasgow, Scotland, between 2015 and 2016, to examine a grassroots activist intervention into how Pride events queer public space. The group Free Pride critiqued the mainstream Pride event organised by the group Pride Glasgow, and created its own alternative event. This thesis analyses the debates in Glasgow to examine the extent to which the concepts of homonormativity and queer space can help us understand this contestation. Drawing on archival research, participant observation, and interviews with the key players in Free Pride, this thesis argues that debates surrounding homonormativity and Pride can be understood through three key discursive themes of radical politics, commodification, and exclusion. This thesis argues first that while Free Pride has legitimate grounds to critique Pride Glasgow, Pride Glasgow’s spaces are more complex than a critique of being homonormative allows. And second, that while Free Pride works to open up new possibilities for ‘queerer’ spaces and identities in Glasgow, this process is complex and contradictory.
