Birds, Bees and Educated Fleas Crab-eating Macaque monkeys are nearly all bisexual. Unusually, they also sometimes have same sex contact with other species. They have been known to have sex with orang-utans ….. and even foxes. The incidence of same-sex activities amongst bats varies from species to spe- cies. Though observed only occasionally in Fly- ing Foxes and Vampire bats, same sex ac- tivities are very common In Livingstone’s Fruit bat. West Indian Manatees sometimes have same-sex orgies as part of a social activity called "cavorting", during which they indicate their pleasure with noises described as "chirp-squeaks" and "snort-chirps". GCSE BSc MA PhD THE NOTTINGHAM MAP There’s a link to the map on the homepage of Nottinghamshire’s Rainbow Heritage’s website. Every red spot on the map links to a place with some LGBT connection. Here are some of those places. The Black Boy, opposite the side of the Council House, was one of those bars/hotels which had a gay reputation in the pre-1967 era. It is perhaps more famous for be- ing one of the best examples of the buildings of Nottingham's ec- centric but utterly individual archi- tect Watson Fothergill. The Black Boy was demolished, against much public opposition, in the 1960s to make way for the bland shops which now occupy the space. The View from the Top was a gallery on the top floor of the Waterstones shop, though it was a sepa- rate organisation from Waterstones. The View from the Top pro- vided the ideal space for Nottinghamshire's Rainbow Heritage's LGBT History Month exhibitions in 2008 and 2009. The spacious, light and airy surroundings were complemented by helpful staff + the passing trade from those visiting Waterstones on the floors beneath. It was greatly disappointing that the gallery closed in 2009. QB’S BITS Nottingham Invasion is a new group for “T- girls”. They meet every 3rd Friday for a pub crawl starting at 8pm at the New Foresters. There will be a meeting of the Bassetlaw LGBT Forum on Wednesday October 9th. 6 pm at Worksop Town Hall. Anyone interest- ed in improving the lot of LGBT people in Bassetlaw should attend. For further info, e- mail [email protected] Does anyone who works with you want (need?) training in LGB+T awareness? Not- tinghamshire’s Rainbow Heritage will be running its annual LGB+T awareness training day on Wednesday November 20th at Arnold Library. E-mail [email protected] to book a place or for more info.

Thanks to Kate, Dan, Rachel, Martin, Tom, Sam, Luca, Taylor and to everyone who has heard me witter on about civic pride over the past few years. iv Abstract This thesis examines how people perceive, express, contest and mobilise civic pride in the city of Nottingham. Through interviews, participant observation and secondary resource analysis, I explore what people involved in the civic life of the city are proud of about Nottingham, what they consider the city’s (civic) identity to be and what it means to promote, defend and practice civic pride. Civic pride has been under-examined in geography and needs better theoretical and empirical insight.

  • DIY Identities in a DIY Scene: Trans Music in the UK
    This is an open access author copy of a chapter published in the edited book: The Emergence of Trans: Cultures, Politics and Everyday Lives. It is an updated version of an essay first published in the journal Sexualities, under the title “De/constructing DIY identities in a trans music scene”. To cite this chapter in formal academic work, please use the published version: https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781315145815 DIY identities in a DIY scene: trans music events in the UK Kirsty Lohman and Ruth Pearce The past three decades have seen the emergence of an increasingly vigorous and outspoken trans movement in the United Kingdom. Resulting political and social changes have been accompanied by an increasing number of individuals willing to disclose their trans status and be publicly trans. With the development of ‘new modes’ and ‘different codes’ of trans identity and political activism (Whittle, 1998: 393), and an increasingly visible trans population, the stand- alone trans has also come to operate as an organising category for cultural forms. Whereas previous terminologies such as ‘transsexual’, ‘transvestite’ (and perhaps even ‘transgender’) provided more distinct categorical accounts of gender-variant possibility, ‘trans’ is intentionally open and – like ‘queer’ – refuses any clear or coherent definition (Pearce, Steinberg and Moon, 2019). In this chapter, we reflect on what it might mean to ‘do’ trans in a contemporary cultural context, in the tradition of recent accounts of trans music, theatre and performance (see, for instance Halberstam, 2005; Kumpf, 2016; Gossett, Stanley and Burton, 2017; Jaime, 2017; Landry, 2018). While there have always been trans performers, opportunities for their involvement in somewhat regular trans events have historically been limited.

    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.
