Well, it's not exactly Mission Accomplished but it's a start. Today I met with the President to discuss the motion from last Guild Council regarding autonomous liberation... working group is go peoples!! I am rather excited about this one. We're finally going to sit down and let the representatives of our liberation groups determine their own future, their own representation, their own officer. This is an amazing opporunity for change and I'll be sure to keep you updates as it plods along. Any questions on what this means or how it works, leave a comment, drop me an e-mail and I promise to get back to you.

Well, the referdum went better than I'd imagined. I'm being honest about my cynicism but sometimes it is nice to be proven wrong. I felt bad that after all the effort that has gone into it, I wasn't there for la finale or the announcement as I was at a conference in the wonderous maze that is New York City. What I got up to there doesn't really relate to my Guild role naturally but seeing how LGBTQ students organise in another setting was of use and I need to sit down at some point and process all of it. I apologise for the brevity of this post but I wanted to resurface on the blogosphere before Guild Council. My report is now avaliable online so please have a read and don't forget you can ask me any questions on it or any other comments and suggestions at 6:15pm in Guild Council Chambers tomorrow. Coolness.
I was elected your LGBTQO, representing the interests of Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans and Queer students for the academic year 2007/8. This blog is no longer being updated, fro more info on the current LGBTQ campaigns and officer, visit lgbtq.co.uk or guildofstudents.com. It's been epic.
